I’ve got something to tell you and it weighs so heavy on my heart. Our daughter is visiting over the next few days. We haven’t seen her in about a year because she has been working on her recovery from opiates. She brings her new bd along. That’s cool and no worries about him, but his family is maga and low and behold, she voted for the 🤬🤡. She has spent a lot of time with them and somehow they rubbed off on her. It hurts. But I’m trying to keep in mind…
@allin I noticed your post and read through the subsequent replies. Here is the following:
1. Always good to get some weight off your shoulders and release that tension. Sharing it, can at times, bring comfort.
2. Wisdom that comes from those that share similar circumstances can alleviate and lessen the grief.
3. It is always hard for a parent to see their kids as independent adults. There will come a place and time that we have to realize that you've done all that you can do. 1/X
@allin 4. I've told my kids the following: my job as a father is to ensure that you have established yourself financially and with a health insurance.This means that they have an education and direction so that they are self sufficient. Drugs, are at times, much more enticing than family and responsibilities. Lies, manipulation, isolation, depression, insecurity, amongst other feelings, can be overwhelming. You are not alone.
