[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 643052, member: 3305"] Nancy, I would have replied earlier but we had an emergency yesterday. I am so sorry to hear that difficult child's "boyfriend" is such an abusive, angry Jerk...and of course, that's putting it mildly. I know we can't control who are children give themselves to to be loved by but it's got to be especially painful when it is someone like this. I hope your difficult child will every so often attend an Al Anon meeting. She may find that she is in that mode...to fix, cure, etc with this "boyfriend"...putting herself in harm's way because of his sweet daughter. We can't save the world...only ourselves much of the time. Kathy, I understand where you are at...we really can't change them or their choices and we hinder potential growth when we interfere and try to play the role of their "Higher Power". There comes a point where we finally are ready to really Let Go. You are doing a wonderful job of allowing your difficult child's life to be her's...for her to fully own it and for you to go on with your own life too without being tossed and turned and tied to difficult child choices/behavior. It is no longer a battle between us and them. Love, LMS [/QUOTE]
