[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 690825, member: 19522"] Absolutely agree, this is taking a stand for peace. I am working very hard to claim this within my heart and home. So many years of turmoil and desperation culminating in hubs passing. He joked with me towards the end, wanted me to drive a certain way and I said "Nope, I am going this way." He said " Who you think you? Tarzan?" (like the Geico commercial). [MEDIA=youtube]-lmw0d6S6jU[/MEDIA] So, I am Tarzan, King of my jungle. I don't want turmoil or chaos. "Tarzan know where Tarzan go." My d cs are that Jane in the commercial, griping and moaning. I will calmly beat my chest in my demand for peace. Calm dominance. Doesn't mean I do not love my kids, all of them, but they will not be allowed to wreak chaos in my home. I think our kids just cannot see what is right in front of them,[I] because they don't want to.[/I] This does not pan out in the scheme of [I]blaming their lives on us.[/I] That's what I think. If they looked at their siblings and parents work and successes in life, they would have to look in the mirror, they do not want to look in the mirror. It is too hard. Looking in the mirror means having to become responsible and seeking change. Tornado lamented her Dads passing, hugged him and spoke about how selfless he was, how hard he worked to care for his family. This was right there in front of her......"You don't know what you got till it's gone." For some reason, these kids just can't see what is right in front of them. So, we have to claim it. [I]We have to lift ourselves up.[/I] We need to become "alpha" again. Put our foot down and stop blaming ourselves for their choices. Stop trying to direct their lives, feel responsible for our adult children who we not only taught better, we showed them by how we lived and live. Climb out of the trench and live [I]despite[/I] what their choices are. They will do what they please in the long run. Looking back there was no stopping my two. No matter what we did, they still made bad choices and ran amuck. Blamed us. We got sucked in....... We lost precious time, being sucked into the pit of despair. No more. I am going to stick with the Tarzan theme. I am not Jane, needing to be rescued. I am Tarzan. We all can be Tarzan. Claim your jungle. [MEDIA=youtube]MwHWbsvgQUE[/MEDIA] Leafy [/QUOTE]
