[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 753254, member: 23706"] Hope is to me just keeping an open mind that THEY will do better on their own, that God, if God is in your life, will step in. That they will find a reason, as yet unknown, to change...but not due to us because we can't fix it. And that miracles happen. Or just plain unexpected changes. Expectations are what concrete things we think about for the future as opposed to letting the future take care of itself. It is not to make our own happiness contingent upon what they do or don't do. And not to have ideas about what they may do. Or what is or is not successful for them. I think a lot of the hope is hope that WE can be happy no matter what. Feel free to add to this or say what it means to you that may be very different than what it means to me. We are all in this together yet we had different lives and we have different personalities. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Nobody is right. Nobody is wrong. I do hope that nobody has no hope for happiness at all, but if you do, I still embrace you with love. I embrace all of our battles. All feelings and emotions. Viewpoints. They will not all be the same. Yet our children bring us together in a way that nothing else can. God bless us all. [/QUOTE]
