[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 625440, member: 4152"] I like this poem called "let go," and actually abide by it. I have to. I had to. I have a fair amount of peace with reference to our difficult child. She is coming for Easter dinner. We will get her to a hair salon because she doesn't wash her hair regularly or brush it for that matter and both she and my husband and I wish for her to look nice for Easter. Sigh. I found one that is open half day and made her an appointment. She is fine with that. There are many oddities, incongruities, and difficulties. They use to bother me and they don't particularly bother me today. I have accepted them, by and large. Again, I have to...I had to. However, I am a human being. No machine typing this. I have my moments. I understand intellectually that her inability to take care of herself, to understand cause and effect reasoning....etc., is dangerous. I hope and pray for the best. But, I have my moments. I don't understand how my best efforts when she was younger did not lead to a better outcome. Sigh. But, it is what it is. I'll never fully understand. But, letting go, was not an option. It was the ONLY way. I can NOT control an adult human being. What will be, will be. I move on. [/QUOTE]
