That is so true seedling. I just wish I had realized that sooner. I have alot to work on and alot that needs to change.
I am sorry Jade......I don't think there is anything harder than watching our kids screw up their lives.
If there is anything positive in all of this it is your statement above. You are finally taking care of you and understanding that nothing you do will change another's behavior. That is a huge step. I'm not saying that takes the horrendous pain you are feeling away just that because of all of this you are getting healthier. Sure seems ironic doesn't it? I'm proud of you for contolling what you said and realizing that your responsibility is to work on yourself.
