[QUOTE="witzend, post: 150475, member: 99"] Thanks, Paula, and big hugs to you, too. You know, until my father had said that to me, and I was 38 years old, that it finally dawned on me what they meant by "living in sin". A phrase he used to use a lot. It's a "mortal sin". So, I guess it was hopeless anyway... Happy birthday to Andre, wherever he may be. And happy "you're no longer legally responsible" day to you! ;) I'm sure I still have issues with this stuff. I'm not sure if we ever get over something that awful. I know that I get overly sensitive from time to time. Menopause doesn't help much. At least I'm way past the point in my life that I wonder "what did I ever do to deserve this?" I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. But the beauty of them being adults is that eventually you realize that they are their own people and it doesn't matter one little bit what you do or what you think they now get to make their own decisions, right or wrong. The beauty is in letting them go and realizing that your life is your own again, and you're old enough to know how to stay away from the toxic people. [/QUOTE]
