[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 666357, member: 18958"] Dear COM I think that this kind of process that you went through might be typical for parents as they watch their adult children marry. This is when we really get that they are no longer ours. We really only have the filter of our own experience through which to evaluate anything. Like Cedar says, we are learning ever more quickly to let go of the judgment and forgive ourselves. We are human. Thank goodness. My Mother told my sister at the wedding rehearsal upon her second marriage, why don't you marry somebody like (the brother of the groom who was a doctor) instead of the groom!! Actually the marriage did not work out. But my mother learned to be quiet with the 3rd marriage. She got out of the way. Our kids are not us. All of us are learning this, in my case, a bit slowly. I am happy for you that at the end of the day you found happiness and meaning for you. After all, that is all we have, and everything.... COPA [/QUOTE]
