[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 589009, member: 13542"] I hear you MWM, my 17 year old granddaughter is now in that zone. The school she wants to go to has a coastal campus, the housing she wants to live in is right on the ocean. Just last night at dinner she was telling us how this was the last year students at this particular school did this kind of ocean ritual event, because so many students got hammered they stopped it. Later last night, I said to my SO, "I hope by next year when she's 18 I am more used to her independence", because I started feeling that familiar tug of having to let go.............and at the same time, as DDD said, we have to let go and trust them to make healthy choices. Sigh. It is what it is......parenting can really be a heart stopper sometimes, can't it? [/QUOTE]
