[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675817, member: 19522"] I think these things come on subtly at first, or is it the shock of it? Things have gone missing from my house as well, to the point, when Rain is over, I do not trust her in areas of my home. It is a bad feeling. I do not know how to even address it, because it is always denied, anyways? I agree wholeheartedly Copa, that we owe it to ourselves, and our children to set boundaries and let them know by doing so, they need to show restraint and respect. So very true and, also. We do not have to be their unwilling, captive audience, in the details of their lives. It is all a part of restructuring relationship patterns and responses. Untangling the tangled web, being a loving, caring parent, not an unwitting participant in the drama, it is hurtful to know of their escapades, over and over again. This takes some skill and work, for me at least.....still working on [I]emotional detachment[/I], setting boundaries on myself, and how far my emotions get mixed up in the drama and reality my two are living. It is not easy, that is for sure, it takes practice......I like this quote....
