[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 619695, member: 59"] I'm sorry you felt bad with what she said TL and I know how sensitive we are to things like that. From another perspective, when my difficult child was in high school and up until she turned 21 I actually use to say I felt like my job was to keep her safe until she matured and learned how to keep herself safe. Even the resource officer at the high school was talking to me one day and told me the same thing, that parents just have to do whatever they can to keep their kids safe from all the drugs/alcohol/temptations out there until their brains matured. So perhaps she didn't mean it any other way than that. Once my difficult child turned 21, or actually before that when she no longer lived here, I realized I had no more control over that and I could no longer keep her safe, she was on her own [/QUOTE]
