[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675702, member: 19522"] You have not failed Colleen, your son is choosing for himself. This has nothing to do with your parenting, [I]and everything to do with free will. [/I]We are all imperfect humans, we make mistakes. We did our best as parents. Things happen with our adult kids that are simply out of our control. I am glad D C that you do not let others opinions matter. This is your business, your sons business. I am careful who I share my story with. I do not need anyone else to judge me. I am sure that there are more folks who are dealing with this, then you, or I are even aware of. The beauty of being here on CD, being anonymous, we are blessed to be able to share things we would be cautious or guarded about. It is a safe place for us to be. Shame and guilt do not belong to us. We did the best we could do. Our children adult (or near adult), will choose their paths. It does not mean, they will continue as is, some, seem to have to learn the hard way. I am hopeful, that all of our children, eventually, will find their meaning and purpose in life. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
