[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 764607, member: 19522"] My two youngest children grew up watching us struggle with their sisters choices. So yes, it has been hard on all of us. That’s a difficult road Michelle. 10 years of dealing with a beloved child growing up making bad choices is a long time. You have mentioned that your daughter has been violent with you and you fear for your safety, I absolutely understand why you would not want to engage with her. There was a time while hubs was alive that my Rain became threatening towards me and I had to avoid her. I don’t often see my two, they know where I stand. The lifestyle they choose is a completely different world. I’m glad for you that you have an opportunity to reconnect with your son. It is good to be able to talk with our adult children who are doing well. Why should you feel bad for having a relationship with your son? If he is respectful and making good choices, that is a good thing. Our wayward adult children have to deal with the consequences of their choices. Good for you Michelle. Keep working on yourself and relationships that are healthy. Our adult children will do as they want, it is what it is. Finding ways to switch focus on what we can change is so important. [/QUOTE]
