[QUOTE="witzend, post: 287998, member: 99"] You know, talking to some of you here, about L and about our other kids, it is beginning to hit me that she might be this way for the rest of her life, and there's not a darn thing I can do about it. I was telling husband last night that one thing that I found very frustrating is that while I may think she's a total dimwit who is trying to take a shortcut (shortcuts never work in real life) to a good life, I have never said that to her. I have always told her how much faith I have in her that she can be anything she wants to be. Both things are true. But I would never express my hard feelings about her to her, because in reality I was just like that. Not that way until I was 26, but earlier in life. I'd like to think that because I moved on that she could move on. But, I met husband, and she hasn't met anyone who loves her that much. I realize now how lucky I was. But she'll tell me that she knows I think that she is a dimwit who takes shortcuts. Maybe it's just because [I]she[/I] thinks that she is a dimwit who takes shortcuts, too. Grrr.... Gotta let it go. It's her life, not mine. One day there might be an opening to talk to her, but this isn't it. I'll just have to keep my eyes open. Almost forgot... I talked to her dad last night about how it is that they got back together. He said that the hitting happened last Saturday, he met with them and talked last Sunday, beginning Monday boyfriend was calling and texting and so was she, and Wednesday they were back together. He said that he was going to "get back to his new bride." I said "Well, at least you and your new bride aren't living with your 26 year old daughter." He said, "Not after [I]those[/I] four days!" I guess it wasn't a rose garden... [/QUOTE]
