[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 631982, member: 17542"] I would say No. That is none of our business. And we can't know what will happen between difficult child and any given person. What are we going to do, go around behind them letting everybody they come in contact with know their past? that's not practical. Those family members who are close to us already know the story. They can decide to get involved or not, eyes wide open. I just don't think we can be in the business of trying to manage and control outcomes. That is again being more involved with another person than is healthy for us. We have learned that we need to keep the focus on ourselves, primarily. We need to stay out of another person's business? We need to mind our own business, which is a full time job. If we are asked, we can share our experience, strength and hope. That would include our experience with difficult child, the good and the bad. We don't "let" anybody else do anything. They are grown people, and they do what they do, on their own. You're off the hook, BG. We/us/me is a full time job. [/QUOTE]
