Love Enough To 'Let Go'...

     As the parent of adult-children, watching them suffer, their own, 'growing-pains', can be 'challenging', 'to say the least'. In situations, as this, I have learned to be a willing, 'ear', a quiet, listener, and, a supportive-loving, Mom, never, just freely, doling-out, 'Motherly-advice'. My sons are grown-men, after all; even, though, still my children, naturally. Learning to 'let go' the 'urge' to 'interfere', when one or the other of them has personal-concerns, is not the easiest thing to do, when one is an, active and loving-Mother or Father. Healthful and healthy-'detachment' is a thing, learned, and, though, difficult to do, especially, initially, it is the RIGHT thing to do, for our children, as well as for ourselves. For, if we are forever, forcing our beliefs, ideas, ideals, and, expectations on our sons and daughters, rather, than, simply, being available, when they need for us to be, we can alienate them, and, make our, own, lives, miserable. As in the case of any other lives we are 'intertwined' in, it is 'unwise' to 'put our noses in', when it's not welcome by the perspective, recipient. Prying and preaching is NEVER the answer! Tis always, better, to allow someone to come to us, when they need our support. Learning this comes from past, choices and decisions, that, didn't, always, pan-out. 'Live...and, learn'! Just so long as my progeny, know, as they do, that, they can come to me, whenever they need, and, I will do the, very, best, i know how, to help them, is good enough for me, and...the, best, thing, for ALL of us!
