[QUOTE="Chasejazz, post: 751031, member: 24130"] I can only comment based on my own experience. Since they were teenagers, my three children have not said, nor have they done much of anything that did not serve each one of [I]their best interests. [/I] My daughter was an absolute genius at having 5 backup plans to prop up her plan A. With B, C, D, E and F already in place, the room for failure, disaster, hurt, blame, disappointment and then disappearing was enormous! The last time I saw her, 8 years ago, she was throwing Christmas presents out of her car window, screaming "I don't want these (gifts)! [I] I HATE Christmas!!!!"....[/I] We all stood in the driveway. In shock, in tears, as she peeled out and was gone. I never saw or heard from her again. The exception -- 2 times she contacted her brothers (asking for something), and there were random Facebook posts, which I eventually blocked. The thing is, there was No Warning from her prior to it happening, that she was going to detonate, explode and disappear forever... on [B]that[/B] day. But, looking back, it was inevitable that it [I]was[/I] going to happen [I]one day...and then it did.[/I] So my point is, sometimes you can get blindsided. Other times, there's that little voice inside of you that tries to warn you. In the end, you wind up just trying not to get hurt anymore. [I][B] "Hic sunt dracones...." The old mapmakers used to write, "Beyond this point, there be dragons."[/B] Beware.[/I] [/QUOTE]
