[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 630755, member: 1550"] Trinity and everyone, I thank you all so much for bolstering me once again during a silly mom moment, which I still get from time to time. Trinity you were too kind and you also RE and Cedar just seeing your name in a post makes me feel better. The breakup is over, but you all made me see that I have to let go of Jumper's affairs as well as my difficult children and let her live life. She is a very unique young woman who is sure of herself most of the time, but sensitive at other times...in other words, pretty much like most eighteen year olds. She is striking out to be her own person and if she has a breakup or even racial problems in college THAT IS HER WALK TO TAKE. I have to believe that she will find ways to deal with bad situations as she is so level-headed and mature. I can't remember every person who posted everything, but whoever told me to let her know that I have raised her already and that I hope she remembers her upbringing, but that I now trust her to make her own decisions...I loved it and am going to write her a letter about that when I give her her graduation party gift. Unlike my difficult child, she will appreciate it. She keeps my letters to her. Of course, I will let her know that if SHE wants to talk about something or needs us, she can always come to us and that her bedroom is going to still be there, but that we are entering a new phase where she is allowed to make decisions and I am not going to tell her my opinion of them unless she asks. Thanks again for waking me up. Jumper may be the hardest of all for me to let go of. We have always been extremely close, and I so appreciate her kind yet very individual personality and of all of my kids, while I don't love her the most, I do enjoy her the most, if that makes sense. Of course, the only adult child I am currently not always enjoying is 36 and, honestly, even he has calmed down since he got the boundary ultimatum. Today I am counting my blessings and wish all of you the same blessings and to appreciate them, even when you have maybe one loved one who is not going in the right direction. We all have blessings. I feel all of YOU are blessings. Hugs to all. [/QUOTE]
