[QUOTE="PennyFromTheBlock, post: 670990, member: 18271"] I don't post nearly as much as I should...your post struck a chord- and I'm going to tell you why. Our experiences give us an insight to things that most (thankfully) never ever have. I have found (myself) that I become stronger MYSELF when I talk to someone going through these things- as if, the things I know to be right and true become stronger within ME when I share my experiences with others. You know, we can all say "cut off contact! do nothing more for them!" and then we turn around and REINSTATE CONTACT! DO MORE FOR THEM! I don't think this makes us hypocrites or someone who has info to share that has no value. We all know our children far better than anyone else. But we often have rose colored glasses with our own kids. Not so much with others. I have a friend at work embarking on a Difficult Child issue now that he's an adult and I can tell her what I WISH I had done WAY before I did anything. We love our kids. We want them to be better and be successful. Yes, sometimes we step out on faith and we help even when that baby voice in the back of our heads is skeptical. That's ok! We all have something of value to add here. You all (so many) have helped me so much more than you will ever ever know. Here's to peace and blessings! [/QUOTE]
