[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 750416, member: 23706"] If our words and love could work, nobody would be here. These kids have deeper issues than just not conforming to society. And I think that their issues are not easily resolved, and its worse if they use substances. So talking to them about our ideas for their lives is not effective. Is it? It was not for us, at least. They don't want what we want. i giive up wondering why not. I have learned to accept Kay as she is right now. This is reality in the now. Worrying about the past is useless. The past no longer exists. The past is gone. The future is a mystery and we do nothing but torture ourselves if we try to predict it. The present moment is the only reality we have. It is all we can really see. Mindfulness and Radical Acceptance transformed my life. I recommend everyone at least try reading up on these practices and see if they make sense to you. Doing what we did before has not helped us or our children. Well, that's my thought for the day. Have a good one. Be well and God bless. [/QUOTE]
