Today I sit broken and in pain. My child hurts. Her emotions have gotten the best of her and is now separating from her husband. They married too young, I tried to tell them, but of course mothers "don't understand". Do children think that parents come ready made? We have gone through experiences that we DON'T want our children to go through and we try to steer them in the direction we think they should go. However, children do have their own minds and plans on what "they" think is the right way. As a parent I have to step back and allow my child to learn and grow, but it hurts so bad. I sit and watch her struggle and to know that "I" can't fix it for her. She is my only child and we don't have any family here in the area, well I do have a sister close, but she is extremely busy and has her own troubles. I have tried to raise her in a good environment, with good values and a warm heart but experiences in her life (since baby#1)have harden her and changed her. Now she is going and doing things I don't like, but I have to step back and honor her decision. So here I sit broken and in pain.Lady
