[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 288131"] Hmmm I think as moms, we are obligated somehow to hold out a glimmer of hope that all might be well someday. I think we need to have a some hope and faith that our difficult children will find health. We can pray and appeal to our Higher Powers for assistance and hope that something will touch our difficult children and that they will see for themselves their own self worth. We can place this burden onto something/someone greater than ourselves. I know this sounds rather "metaphysical," but I don't want to put it out into the universe that things will not get better. However, I do understand logically that this is in the realm of possibility. I just do not wish to cement it with a thought or comment. As with anything, I can not control another person's behavior. And, of course, past behavior is an indication of future behavior. I see that certain things are within a possibility. I do believe that change is always possible. I even believe in miracles. I hold hope...but I stay with my feet on the ground. It's a weird place, but one that I have grown comfortable with. To even acknowledge the "forever" thing was difficult...but I know that this is a possibility and have put that in my mind as one of the possibilities...and like I said above...I've given this over to a "higher power." Understanding all the possibilities, turning it over to a Higher Power, a certain "acceptance," and working on my own life, has provided relief. We can and must move forward. We can refuse to let "difficult child business" interfere with the business of life. We can refuse to take responsibility for adult difficult children making poor choices. We can recognize, accept, honor, appreciate, respect and cherish our own value in this world and we can do this by enjoying life "anyway." AAF [/QUOTE]
