[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 464892"] I agree. It is swimming against the tide, we need the support of others and that we need to make the choice to actively seek out help AND to actively notice the good and positives all around us. Was also thinking that when our children are younger, all of this is a little more confusing and unclear. We are steeped in all of this because young children certainly do need the help of their parents or guardians. But, after 18 and certainly after 21....this changes. It is up to them to use what we have provided for them and to move forward in life. If they have disabilities, we can provide some limited help if they are appropriate and appreciative. And we can also lead them to social services. But, our job is done. And now, there is no doubt in my mind, it is time for us to relax and let go of THEIR struggles and it is not only acceptable, but totally appropriate and RIGHT to seek our own happiness. [/QUOTE]
