[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 695264, member: 17542"] Wow, JH, now isn't that exactly what we on this forum are hoping and praying for? To get a message like that from our adult children. That is great! I hope you will celebrate this. Just stop right now, and feel really good about this. This moment, this now. Yes, who knows what the future holds? None of us knows, and usually things don't go in a straight line so there will be ups and downs. That is normal. We get so used to a straight downdrop that we forget what is normal anymore, sometimes. The more you can stand back...say little...be supportive with your words (no money)...keep it short and simple...don't overtalk it...just say that's great honey. I knew you could do it....the more you can do that...let some time pass...the more she can stand on her own two feet, which is what being adult is all about, as we know here. Hang in there! We're here for you. [/QUOTE]
