[QUOTE="LetGo, post: 766626, member: 33482"] Mouseyone, I am sorry about what you have been dealing with. I believe that most of us are in the same boat as parents. After so much effort, love, caring and finding resources, our adult kids just seem to reject it all and choose a different path. They can't see the forest for the trees and we can't change this. We all have our "what if" moments and fantasy parent selves (if only they would follow what we lay out for them...). Copa is right, as parents we really, truly are better off if we accept reality. We have other places in our lives to have joy and let love in and back out to others. Guess what? Just a little beyond the grief and guilt, there is our life that we get to live and it's okay to do so. And we are not "bad" parents if our children are suffering and we have happiness. I am thinking of you. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
