Re: need a prayer (To Annie)

[Guest guest]

Liane,

Thank You so much for your kind response. This is a difficult time for me and although I am attempting to let it go...and Let it Be...my heart is broken.

Even though she and I are astranged, you never stop caring or loving, or hoping that someday they will come to you and say" I am sorry for all that I was, and I am now so much more mature and enlightened..." she will be 27 in the summer, still no sign of maturity.

I am also feeling guilt, as I suppose as a mother we Blame ourselves, maybe even more then they Blame us for everything that goes wrong in their lives( if that is possible)..lol

As a single parent I like many others made choices that were centered on taking care of my children. We had far from a perfect family life, but most of their childhood, for me was centered on keeping the roof and having enough to eat and the minimum of all the rest life has to offer. She blames me, and she caries the burdens of the past around with her like a heavy weight.

My family half jokes that she reminds us of St Nick with the Huge Pack , only hers is filled with "I did not have this" and " I did not have that" and all the other negative things she can carry.

I am sorry, again I am rambling...

the purpose of this note was simply to say "Thank You" and to let you know how much it means to me to know there is someone besides my self who is praying.(I keep this mostly to myself, as it is hard when your coworkers kids are doctors, lawyers and architects and yours is on their way to jail)

Each day I try to imagine her happy and whole. I know if I could just hold that imagine and believe it is ...then it will be.

Easier said then done...but I am trying!

Again Thank You from the bottom of my heart and may God Bless you Dear one.

I have followed this thread a bit...

I just want to let you know that, well, I have been one of those

tortured souls... I am now 45, have a great job making decent wages, (

17 years now) no longer am pursued by the law (or involved with men that

are, which was my thing-and it eventually turns into YOU being in

trouble..) have semi-decent relationships with family, am drug free

(including alcohol and tobacco) and feel that I am on the path of doing

what it is that I came here to do.

Even though you wish so much more for your children than they are

displaying to you, It is all on them; it is their life and they alone

must choose at each fork in the road which path to follow. It IS heart

breaking, for those that love the " lost or troubled " soul, but some of

us are paying down past lives, or we are just too new to this world to

get how it works....and some of those who are in trouble are really here

to change things---for the better---even though we perceive it as horror

and embarrassment!!!

All that is asked is that you offer and deliver your unconditional

love---but do not enable self-destructive behavior. Let them know that

your love is there, but they are on their own to find all the pieces to

their puzzle of life and put them in place...this often times includes a

roof and nourishment...(assuming they are of legal age to care for

themselves)

Hugs and light to all, (and I am sending my love to the situation, Annie)
