I agree w/Cali. We become "authority" figures to the MLCers, i.e., be it mom, dad, grandparents, etc...but they have this need to tell us what they are doing and they make up excuses and lies for when they are late, etc. Teenagers at their finest!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
