[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 679723, member: 19522"] DM, you are my hero, you have so much on your plate and you keep on trudging through. Who knows? You know, I had to give my eldest the boot at 18, she was just not doing much of anything at home, extremely disrespectful and partying......she ended up couch surfing and getting involved with some very shady characters.......fast forward 18 years later, same ole same ole. I think these kids are just too darn hard to figure out, and would have crashed and burned regardless of anything we could have said or done. Don't be so hard on yourself. There is no way to figure this stuff out. What I am thinking today is that we have a way of going down this parallel path with these kids, just feeling the punches every step of the way.....if only there were a way to stop the madness of it all........I will keep praying on that one. You just[I] keep rambling, keep posting, [/I]it's okay. Stay in your head and share your story, [I]that's why we are all here. [/I] You are a good person and your words and courage are much appreciated. You have helped me draw some strength this morning. Thank you for being you and being here with us. Wishing you peace of mind today. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
