Thank you! I'm feeling better about it. Of course, there haven't been any ugly texts today. We're sticking to it. I can't believe she'd even ask - it's crazy how bad my allergy is.

Kids think we should cater to their every want,no matter what it does to us. Why did we have children again? Oh I remember so they can grow up. I feel for you. I understand my daughter is 27 addicted and no consideration for others.
Good Evening.
I logged in specifically to reply to your post.
*taking a huge breath*
I have a son. A wonderful, intelligent, thoughtful and compassionate son. He is the goody-rooniest child in the world. And I would kill and die for him. Without hesitation or a second thought.
However, he has tried my patience and broken my heart a few times.
Like you, I reached out to the SKMB family (and sent out several PM's to SKMB members for help and advice) and I received support, comfort and prayers, well-wishes and vibes.
I finally...kicking and fighting...had to understand and accept that he was damned and determined to do what HE thought was best.
I cried. I cried a lot. I just could not understand why he would chose to do or say the things he said. And I cried. I also prayed like a maniac. ( If prayer is an option for you I strongly suggest it.)
My son is now doing well. Not perfect. Not exactly what I would wish but ...doing well.
I had to put on my big girl panties on and gut it out. He went to live with my brother, his uncle and Godfather, and his family for two months. My son was with family who loved him cared for, advised and guided him.
I was left at home by myself. It was hell.
After two months, my son soon realized Tio, Tia, cousins etc. was not HOME. Not Momma home. He had to learn the hard way.
There's no place like home.
We are doing very well now. (Some glitches now and then but no big blow ups. Thank God.)
Ma'm, with all due respect. Sometimes we, as parents, have to let our child(ren) learn difficult, hard and painful lessons.
From one Momma to another...I send you prayers, well wishes, good vibes and STRENGTH. Keep your stand however painful it may be. It is for the good of your child.
Godspeed.
You Sig.
Peace.
Thank you for sharing your story - I am so happy to hear he came back to you. Oh my gosh how that must have just ripped your heart out! It really comes down to stepping back and letting them go, doesn't it? I don't think children really understand how much we love them until they have a child of their own, and I'm not ready for that - oh heavens no.
I do pray, so I thank you for the offer of prayers - that's powerful.
Blessings to you and your son!
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that about your daughter - that must be agonizing! I'll keep your family in my prayers!
((((Everyone in need))))
Seems like the holiday season is pretty stressful for many people.
I am not angry today, but frustrated and very sad. There are things in my life that I can't solve, and I have had to make some really hard decisions in the last months.
But for some reason, it is much harder for me this time. I have had to make some hard decisions before, and I have always been able to bounce back after a while.
This time, I don't seem to be able to bounce back like before. Maybe I finally reached my limit? I don't know, but I hope I don't have to feel like this much longer.

Is it the age, or what? So sad and disappointed with my (almost) 20 yr old today. I should be skipping around the house, because the pre-publication craziness is almost over (drops tomorrow, thank god), but instead I'm sniffling around the house and wishing I could jump back to when he was 12 (or last year, or even yesterday morning).

What did he (or she) do if you do not mind me asking? I do not want to be nosy but sometimes it helps to just talk about it (((skimom2)))
- sorry skimom
If you would prefer to keep it to yourself that's okay - I did not want to sound intrusive

Caught him with a 'recreational substance' last night. I'm so sad, and mad, and... whatever. At a loss? My heart just hurts today.
(((skimom2))) if they only understood why it hurts us parents.

It's good it was you who caught him and not the cops (if it was an illegal substance) - sorry - it must be so frustrating for you
If it ever happens again, it will be the cops. Not because I don't love him, but because I do.
10 people at my tiny company, including the two under me, just got laid off. With, I believe, no severance. Merry Christmas!
I have so many words right now. SO MANY. Most of them are pretty short, though.

Those poor people!
I worry about that all the time. BH's work lays off at least once a quarter, and I'm on the edge of my seat each time (those are the days I seriously question our decision to have one of us be a stay at home). He's probably safe, since he's worked there for 20 years and can do just about every job in the plant, but still...
The Grinch and Scrooge in bosses seems to come out this time of year. Positive thoughts for those laid off and their families too.
The guy responsible for this, and it is just one guy, is—well, this is his MO. I sincerely, truly wish that I could sic Jacob Marley and the three ghosts on him tonight. Also a big mean dog.
Wow
@Todash - that sucks! I don't even know what to say about that
@skimom2 - better he learn those lessons from you than from the law! maybe it's not a habit and you've spared him that trouble!
@Lisey Landon Bless you - practice detachment if you can - it's not always easy but sometimes it's the only way to find peace!

Todash; I am so sorry. Sending positive energy your way.
Thank you, Holly. I am trying! It is, as you say, hard sometimes. But I hope I will succeed. I always try to focus on the positive, and there is a lot of good stuff going on, too. I am very annoyed with myself for not being able to do that right now.
