[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 23683, member: 3353"] I am in full agreement with Suz and Alice Lee. One of the things husband and I had to learn was how NOT to be proactive. Until you know the situation fully, maintain your side of the restraining order. If your daughter is pregnant, you have a full six months ~ at least ~ before you need to decide what your role in her life, or in the life of your grandchild, will be. Now is a good time for you to remember the Serenity Prayer. When things are so impossibly hard and there are no answers and we just don't know where to turn or what to think or do, that is when it helps us most. Suz gave it to me once when I was truly at my wit's end. Her advice was that I read and reread it until I got it ~ until I could feel it working. Here it is, for you. As you read through it, remember that we all are here. You will not be going through whatever comes next alone. ************** GOD, GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE ************** Barbara [/QUOTE]
