[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 763345, member: 19522"] Hi B, I’m so glad you are feeling better. It is frustrating to say the least, when our loved ones go down this path. There are opportunities for them, but they don’t seem to want to live a “conventional” life where there are basic rules and boundaries. We didn’t raise our kids to be this way. I’m glad you are feeling stronger. That is the goal, to stop feeling desperate over something we have no control over. It takes work and building up our self love and self respect. You have value, your life has meaning, despite the choices your son is making. To put aside our lives and focus only on their well being and state of mind is like jumping in front of an oncoming train. They are going to choose as they do, regardless of what we do, say or feel. I think the ultimate path is to focus on living the best we can and hope that they see that they can choose better, live better. That is entirely up to them. Keep your strength up and live for you, focus on your daughter. I have many times been through this “gut punch” too. It takes a while to catch my breath, but then I remember that all of my kids were just on loan to me to raise, that they will choose their life’s path as they wish. I find great relief in prayer. I also keep myself busy in hobbies and things that I enjoy. Grab your life by the reins girl! Our wayward kids have to learn from the consequences of their choices. They also have to learn to respect our boundaries, and we teach them that by not allowing them to degrade our lives. Keep going, you got this! New Leaf [/QUOTE]
