[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 633056, member: 17542"] I don't know the "real answer" to your question but I am coming to believe that these factors are key---in no particular order here: 1. Us leaving them alone as much as we possibly can manage to. 2. Time. 3. The fervent prayers of many people. 4. Unknown people who will come alongside them (not us) and help in small and large ways. 5. Them living a life they don't like, and coming to realize there is a way out and it starts with doing just one thing differently today, and then putting a string of those types of days together. 6. #5 leads to maturity and maturity is something we all grow into all of our lives. It is essential for living an adult life. The only things above that we have a role in are leaving them alone and prayer. Kathy, I continue to lean into this way of life, and also to resist it at the same time. I need all of the help I can get. Hang in there. Stay the course. They just aren't "done cookin'" yet. We are all in this together. [/QUOTE]
