[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 608332, member: 1550"] Wow, Janet. As morbid as it is...good point. But I could never take a life insurance policy out on my son, even if I could, and I don't think I can. It's too uncomfortably close to home, I guess. I believe he may kill himself one day, especially if/when he loses this custody battle. RE, I know how you feel. I have to fight to not feel the pain to this day and since Son is going thru so much now, it is hard, even when he is abusive to me. I am often glad I'm the one who doesn't have any money. Nobody asks me for any! Ex has t he money and he is dishing it out to 35 like crazy. Strangely, he is also less emotionally involved and can go ahead and live his life normally even after 35 threatens to kill himself. For me, well, I need my Al-Anon meeting to be reminded that I can not do anything to stop him and "let go and let God." I am one who still does believe in a God and I try to give Him as much of the burden as I can. For me, it helps a bit. I'm sorry, RE, that your daughter continues to make poor choices. Some of our kids will do so all their lives. All we can do is pray, if we are so inclined, and hope for the best, if we are not. Sadly, we can not help them. They sabotage our efforts at every dang turn. You seem so good at detaching. I love your wonderful, inspiring posts. [/QUOTE]
