[QUOTE="Blindsided, post: 752545, member: 23811"] KSM, I agree with everything Chick Pea says. I understand your apprehension with leaving town. All we can do is give them information on the right way to do things as an adult, and why. And we have to accept we have no control. If they make a wrong choice, it's their bad choice, not ours. Like she said, she is an adult now. Its much better for them to learn from us, but that requires us to detach from the situation emotionally and think rationally. Despite the best laid plans, however, things dont always turn out well, no matter what. And, sometimes they do. I raised my son and daughter the same way. My son (who was the difficult child growing up) and his wife are doing well, my Difficult Child is 41, an alcoholic in a city away from all family. She doesnt work, and is convinced the effects of alcohol and bolemia, etc. Are due to a toxic mold exposure (she was staying in bed for 2 weeks at a time for years before the exposure, then would be convinced she had some neurological issue because she hurt from being immobile for that long.) Stick to your guns as best you can. Try not to expect the worst, the outcome will be the same regardless. Do what you enjoy doing helping others and let God. In love and light. [/QUOTE]
