We went through something very similar with my daughter years ago. I am in no way saying I did the right thing becasue I am not sure we did. But we decided to do the tough love. A lot of people called us out on our tough love stand including members of my own family. It was very hard and heart wrenching. But here we are years later and we have a great relationship with my daughter now. In fact she has remarked "I don't know what I was thinking".
She has now brought me 2 beautiful grandchildren and all is well. I am not sure that anything can make it easier. I just remember 2 things, God promised he will not give me anything I can't handle and raise them up in the way they should be and they will come home.
I will lift your family up in my prayers. |
