[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 506606, member: 13542"] I'm right there with you, seems many of us are. My daughter is not with any significant other right now, but over the years she has brought some interesting 'friends' to dinner at our house. Honestly, and I don't want to sound judgmental or small minded, but I felt afraid that these guys knew where we lived! As an example, last week my daughter asked one of her friends to help her erect the famous green tent on our porch. I was out, my fiancee and granddaughter got home earlier and when they came through the back door, my granddaughter saw a guy out on the porch and said to my fiancee, "[I]why is that [B]hobo[/B] out on our porch?[/I]" They had never met this guy, I had though and when they told me the story, I knew just who they were talking about. Yikes. We all laughed. Seriously though, talk about bad choices. Then when my daughter complains that these folks don't keep their word, don't show up when they say they will, and always disappoint her, I am simply left speechless. With her staying with us, I am learning to just keep my mouth shut about my judgments and/or observations, and I'm making every attempt to consider it none of my business. it's challenging, but as I practice more each day, it's getting easier. I hope you can find some calm in your stormy sea. [/QUOTE]
