[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 27259, member: 3305"] That pendulum does seem to swing back and forth...someone told me it's just like a real swing, "serenity is that place we whiz on past". I hope ant will get back on "the beam" even if he isn't practicing the program of AA, all the practice you have had in detaching with love and letting natural consequences take place have been/are/will be a blessing and a benefit to ant rather he is able to acknowledge it now or not. The lil ones help provide purpose and reason...I wish we didn't feel like they "pay" for their parents lacktherein. I try and remember that "let go and let G-d" doesn't mean I can't step in when one is in danger but it does remind me of who owns what. I so often have wanted to control, hold onto, rescue or prevent...my idea of "help" etc. And yet, all my interference normally does, is make things worse or complicate matters. I think you are wise to let natural consequences take place and go on living your life regardless of ants current choices. It's one day at a time as you know and ant, well, like mine...next week could be a whole new attitude and situation. These kids seem to keep us guessing. Folks that know me and are trying to help me these days often remind me that I can't predict the future, I own no crystal ball and I'm not the one ultimately in charge. Helps me get centered a bit. hugs and care, encouragement to keep doing what you're doing. And one other thing someone told me the other day... "The power in you is greater than the fear before you" lovemysons [/QUOTE]
