[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 678425, member: 19522"] This is good advice. It sure doesn't feel right in the beginning, especially with our d cs history of making very bad choices. We feel the need to be there, or have them in our homes, to watch over them and try to stop the bad choices and resulting consequences. It is a no wonder they blame us, because we have crossed over the line and continued to try to parent them, when truly, [I]they seem to need to make the mistakes and feel the consequences. [/I]It is a part of their growth. It is hard to let go, because in our minds,[I] it will be disastrous[/I]. It may be, and[I] it may not be[/I]. [I][/I] I hope you are feeling okay LS, I know this is a difficult time, when our d cs [I]are not with us[/I]. Though there is peace and quiet in our home, everything just sort of continues to spin in circles in our minds. I went through a grieving process, with all of the stages. It is important to feel what you feel, and recognize if you need help. Take time for yourself, and be very kind to YOU. You have value, you matter. One thing I did, that helped me was to give mine to God. It is too much for me to bear. When I feel myself dwelling on them, I say a quick prayer. It is something that helped calm my fears, and work towards peace of mind. There is always hope for our adult children. Take care LS, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You are not alone.
