Thank You. And yes, despite the anguish of the weekend, I DO feel grateful to have been there for d19. I know she was grateful too.
I wanted to mention how few of her friends have the parental support that I THINK I provide, notwithstanding d19's complaints about the marital past.
Something in our country is going on that is NOT okay.
Way too many of d19's friends have parents who shoved their kids out the door saying "Good luck!" And maybe it's only her circle, but a LOT of them have non existent fathers or very distant dads...
It's obvious to me that connections exist between divorce (and or a bad marriage) and problems with our young adult children. We are passing on our baggage to them. Not a legacy.
Makes me sad. Just thought I'd throw that out.
