You cannot make another do that which you think is best. It is not your responsibility once they are of legal age. Focus on the self and finding peace no matter what others do, even if you feel their activities are “not in their best interest.” Why is it of interest to you? Because you care, of course. Take action to assist and advise as guided by the heart, but take care of yourself first and foremost.
Debbie, my dear sister, I hope you read this message today. It’s for you and I both!!! I love you so much!
This passage was especially timely when it popped up in my email during an especially tumultuous family vacation in Broken Bow, OK! My son had revealed a side of his personality that was completely taking me over the top, and I had to just smile and remember that timing is everything…..your email was the perfect reminder for me to just find peace in whatever I am doing. thank you, Suzanne!
