I think some of the things that many of us on this site share are the lost dreams for our children, and families as well as grief and uncertainty about how to navigate the rough waters we and our difficult children face. Our children have floundered through their own choices, disabilities, addictions, unfortunate situations, etc., and most of the time we cannot save them. We can love them, but they must save themselves.
What this site offers are wise and compassionate people who listen without judging and a safe place to share our fears, frustrations, and successes.
This is a brief post, but I just want to say you are in a safe place here. Each of our troubles may be different on the surface, but we have all been hurting, and we are looking for hope. The members here, through their experiences show there is a path to healing despite our present circumstances.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
