[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 621545, member: 17542"] Daze, one more thing. We know what love looks like when our kids are young. It's completely taking care and being responsible for them. What does love look like now? For difficult children like ours, it's staying out of the way. That is what love looks like. When we have very limited contact with them right now, it is saying little, saying I love you and I know you will make good decisions. That is all we need to do. That is what love looks like right now. Maybe one day it will be different, Daze, but right now, this is greatest gift we can ever give them. And it is the hardest thing we will ever do. We are having to learn something new too, Daze, just like they are. We relapse, just like they do. But when we know better, we work really really hard to do better. You know better, Daze. You can do better, too. Said all above with a very warm and gentle heart for you. [/QUOTE]
