[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 47562, member: 3647"] We may never know "why". It is irritating. It drives us crazy. But that is how it is. It is not like they can (or will!) come to us and say, "you know, it is obvious you taught me good morals and values, but I like things THIS way because..." There is no doubt in my mind that you did your best to instill good morals and values into your child. Even people who grew up with poor parenting have some semblabce of right and wrong. As a person comes of age, as your child has, it becomes personal choice. Sometimes it becomes habit. Sometimes it is just the easy way out. Remember: Detaching 101. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things we CANNOT CHANGE The courage to change the things we CAN And the WISDOM to know the DIFFERENCE. Amen. ((((hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
