Do we get something out of enabling our grown kids?

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 637451, member: 1550"] Cedar, if they had to, they'd go through it too. They would just have more compassion toward other people who don't have perfect grown kids. I hope your daughter's assailant is locked up forever. Our children do not turn out one way or another due to our parenting. None of us raised our children to hurt themselves and have disregard for others. Not one of us. We have a certain amount of control over our children, really, until they are in their teens and become more peer-oriented. If they decide to throw what we taught them to the wind, that isn't our doing. And as one who tried everything, including taking her daughter out of school to homeschool and putting bars on her window so she couuldn't climb out her window and run through the dark streets at night, I know that they will find a way to do what they want to do. I'm really, really sorry that you had such bad times with both of your children. It's heartbreaking to read about. You are such a nice, caring person. You deserve so much better than that. I am very mindful that some of us only have one child who is a mess or have more than one who are not doing well. I feel like giving you a hug, but I can't because you're not here... I'm glad you still have your marriage. Many marriages could not have survived what the two of you went through. You must have a very strong relationship. Hope you have a peaceful day...many peaceful days. [/QUOTE]
