[QUOTE="Scott_G, post: 668063, member: 16626"] While it may seem very frustrating to us, the fact is that our adult children are, well, adults and that even when they are doing things we don't approve of, unless we are paying for their lifestyle, it really isn't any of our business. If she's getting tattos and piercings with her own money, there isn't much you can do about it and constantly telling her how much you hate her appearance is only going to make things worse and drive your depression deeper as your frustration grows with her not living her life the way you want her to. This is not worth ending your life over. Instead you need to practice acceptance. As they say, change the things you can and accept the things you can't change. This is the unfortunate truth with our troubled adult children. The situation IS bad, but we can't change them. The only thing we can change is ourselves and how we react to the situation. [/QUOTE]
