[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 754517, member: 19522"] Your daughter will see it as a disadvantage, but it is not. You and I and all those who have walked this journey know this, but we had to learn it first. I think we all need to look back on past mistakes as valuable lessons. Forget the guilt, during those times we were desperately trying anything and everything to prevent our kids from making horrible choices, we were [I]learning[/I]. Some are able to step way back and see the whole picture sooner. I think we all have to process the heartache and chaos in our own time frame. It’s hard in the thick of things to see the light, when our kids are spiraling downward it is devastating. We can’t keep bashing ourselves with retrospect, but we can help others with the knowledge stumbling through the darkness dealt us. Yes, for today and moving forward into the future. If it were up to my two, they would have me dazed and confused, enabling till the death of me. In their drugknapped minds that equates love to them. I have had to learn the hard way, and I am still learning. The New Year is right around the corner, I am hoping in 2020 I will have clearer vision! Much love (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
