[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 480485"] TL-just adding that (below) is something I copied to my journal that I have used while writing out out own plan. It does have a religious slant - so I do not mean to offend if that's not your thing. I found it here: You're Not Alone Help for Parents and Grandparents The second line really made me feel a lot better. I have a strong need to have a plan - I am a "planner" (or control freak as others like to say) and not having a "plan" was adding to my anguish. The Parents; Thought Process We must decide beforehand--as best we can--what we will do and how we will react to situations that occur today. I have been created in the image of God and I must consider what that means. If I lose sight of this, then I lose sight of my need for God to be working in my life. I prepare for anything. I will not be naive about my child's abuse. I will try to anticipate surprises. I will endeavor not to give into the naive hope that the situation is not as bad as it genuinely is. I will recognize that it is a most delicate balance between living in faith for my child's future and accepting the reality of the situation. I will endeavor to remember that love hopes the best and that without faith it is impossible to please God while remembering the gravity of the situation and the reality of the data about drugs. I will endeavor to understand that this type of crisis builds or diminishes faith I will endeavor to remember that a crisis is a test of character and measures one's willingness to grow. I will commit to doing the hard work of living one day at a time. XO [/QUOTE]
