[QUOTE="Cindy Marie, post: 709710, member: 21540"] My children do not seem to understand the difference between love and acceptance. We love them more than anything in this world and I know they know this but they want to pull the card that love means acceptance and we do not accept their bad behavior and disrespect nor will we-hence which is exactly why they are not living here. Like most parents, we have sacrificed so much of our lives to raise them and while they have deviated from the path we had always hoped and prayed for-going to college following high school or should I say staying in college, reaching their goals, their careers etc--- we realize they are adults now and would eventually be out of our home. It is difficult to adjust to them not being here irregardless of them living wrong and caught up in the sins of the world and leaving under the conditions they did. Yes this is the first of anything like this for me and I never had issues with this daughter--just a good girl-and we have been so so very close- That is what is more so making this situation difficult---I never thought I would say I do not want to be around her or see her---because I can not virtually say anything without her getting defensive and even to talk about the beautiful days, the plants, life in general--she is quick to say I do not feel like talking---She is on her way over here as we speak and I do intend to do what I did yesterday--enjoy my beautiful yard and plants--I am going to do my best I can using reverse psychology--she does know we told her she can come back home---but again I am not going to continue asking her or begging her to do so--I do want the lines of communication open--but it is to the point that I do not want to be around her as she looks so miserable and again gets so defensive at the slightest thing. This situation is so foul and I can not imagine how "fun" this is for her. That might not be the right choice of word(s) but it has to be miserable living like this and I prefer to not be around it.
