[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 686990, member: 20054"] hi Kate. I read and then reread your post, such confusion and hurt. I'm sorry. Your words are "sentence, unspeakable, placed upon us and they dare to" All words of her total power and control over your family. Relationships by definition are give and take, you don't seem to have that at all. Take some control back, how ever much you can stomach at this point. I have been in a pit like that, you don't even see the slippery slide when all of a sudden you hit bottom the only thing to do is crawl up--(p.s. it's like a can of worms, when you try to crawl out she and the whole situation will try to pull you back in). She has made an adult choice regarding your relationship, give her the reality of that choices consequences. This is our hardest conflict-how to justify what we needed to do with our son vs the tenets of our faith. We still struggle with it, daily reaching the conclusion that God has boundaries too. Big ones. I finally realized that my biggest problem was how profoundly sad I was at the way my son was wasting his life, God was also, then I had the sudden revelation of how profoundly sad God must be for the way I was wasting mine. A kick in the head for me to STOP. Stop trying to fix, control, change anything but me. Don't waste these yrs. as I have, she has to fix this herself. Save you. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
