[QUOTE="Andy, post: 420950, member: 5096"] Hugs to you Jena!!! One thought that helps me when I despair over Diva's choices and lifestyle she had her teenage years was to look at people around me. I have friends who are strong in their lives and have slipped that they too had made stupid choices during their teens and college years. They matured and found a good path. It surprises me the number of people who have made bad choices but have turned their lives around. I really really really needed to know that on my hardest days with Diva. It is possible and as long as you keep that door open for her to return on her own it may just be. My friends supported me by telling me, she is a good kid, she will turn it around and find a successful, happy life. Hard to believe when I knew what the kids she hung out with were up to. You have laid a good foundation, she will be fine. I think it is o.k. that she knows where you stand. In fact, she will find strength in you standing firm in what you believe - she just can not admit it right now. It breaks your heart to see her go through the hard path but your belief in her strengths to become the person she wants to be will shine through to her some day. [/QUOTE]
