Still Learning

[Tawnya]

{{{Beth}}} As hard as it is, and easier said than done, you CAN'T let it crush you..in all honesty, none of us can emotionally reach our spouses or we probably wouldn't be here right now..

Unfortunately, like Tech said you HAVE to let them walk/fall/crash if that's the rate they are going..someone gave a good analogy I read a bit ago on here that said, just like when kids are learning to walk/crawl for the first time, you'd like to protect them, you stand back to make sure they are ok, but you let them FALL sometimes because that's how they learn..if you held onto the little baby and never let them try, they would be 18 and still unable to walk *LOL* you know what I mean

It is NOT necessarily easy, esp because you love him and want to help him and see the best for him, of COURSE you do..I pray constantly not to let my husband fall too far..because, unfortunately due to their choices, fall a bit they will..and we can't do anything about it except choose what is best for US right now so, if and when they need us, we are a whole person able to help
