It sounds like you're going through some difficult times, but that you're doing the best you can with it. <BR/><BR/>I'll remember this letter and try to keep a balance when my kids are older between letting them make and learn from their decisions and helping to keep them from making poor ones. Tricky! (especially because, as you imply, if you give rules, you become the tyrannical mother).LisAwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299284773832500834noreply@blogger.com
