[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 712455, member: 19522"] Hauoli la hanau Little Bird. I have been gone too long trying to get my head wrapped around my circumstances. I have thought of you and my CD warrior sisters often. Life is truly harsh and unfair, but it is also beautiful all at the same time. It is a most difficult thing to have more than one adult child battling mental illness or in my case addiction or both? Who knows? We have no control in this, and that fact can be exasperating, yet freeing at the same time. How can I say freeing? Am I cold and heartless? Selfish? That may well be. After so many years in the pit of despair, gut churning with worry and stress, I realized it all was beyond my control. I am not giving up on my two, Feeling, I am giving it to God. It is way more than I can get a handle on. Reading through these pages on CD there is one resounding theme and that is that the battle weary parents here have done just about everything under the sun to try to reach a place in their adult child's heart and mind to encourage them to figure out their great potential. Reality is that it is not up to any of us. It is up to them, to want change. No amount of gnashing of teeth, pulling our hair out, synchronistically throwing our lives to the wayside will make them see a different path. They have to see it and want it. You have value and worth, You have the rest of your life to live. You are a wonderful, talented, smart and amazing soul. Thinking of you and praying for your spirits to be lifted Little Bird.
