I have tried to put all of my trust in God, and I do for the most part. It's so hard as a mother to turn your children over to Him. Somehow we always feel like "we" should be the ones in control of their lives. I do appreciate the reminder though!
I know, sweetie. I am 50, and my mom phoned me after I got home from work today because it was snowing like crazy and she was afraid I had driven home in it! (I didn't - she is also my early-warning road report when there are storms! Bless her!)

You're a MOM. I didn't think for one moment you could let go of everything...but I hoped you could find some way to 'sleep on it'.

But - good point - you want to hear the reports for yourself. And if Amy Beth has any conscience, and you are there and hear stuff that TOTALLY flies in the face of what she has told you...well, she'll have to deal with that.


I know from long experience in AA, and reading other stuff - that though it seems not to matter to the kids at the time, when they later straightened out they always mention that their parents were so hurt by what they did...they just didn't have it in them to say anything. Lots of shame and guilt for them. It all takes time.

Everything will work out the way it is supposed to.

HUGS!
