It is challenging to avoid worrying about my children. I "know" that I cannot control everything around me specifically others actions and words but it is hard most of the time to let go.
Hearing what my children say and seeing what they are involved with (FB is a blessing and a curse, imo) can be disheartening. I do talk to them when the timing seems right about making the right choices but I am frequently dismissed.
Knowing the issues that my family are going through and the choices they are making plus hearing what close and not so close friends are dealing with regarding their children, gives me such great concern over children in general. When I was younger, I knew some other kids that were making some seriously bad decisions but for the majority, kids didn't pursue trouble like I see what is happening these days. It is like watching someone play too close to the edge of a sheer cliff and you cannot reach them and they cannot hear you.
What really perplexes me is the number of adults encouraging their behavior. My W seems oblivious to the perils.
