[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 58434, member: 3647"] Asilana, There is a prayer we use around this board pretty often. It helps us when we are trying to detatch from our kids. God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change the courage to change the things we can and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen. I've had to say it over & over some days. The thing to remember is that the only thing that any one person has control over is their reaction. We cannot control our children. We do the best we can with them as they grow (and parenting a challenging child is not for the faint of heart, do not let anyone tell you that you are a bad mother) and then we give them wings to leave the nest. We hope that they do so with the morals and values that we showed them. If they do not, all we can do is pray. Welcome to our family, you will have much support here. [/QUOTE]
