Subj : What's happening? To : eff Smith From : Ruben Figueroa Date : Wed Sep 05 2018 00:00:00 # At some point a parent has to allow their son/daughter to make their own # decisions. Those decisions may be either for the better or for the worse. One # can only hope that you as a parent have instilled in them the ability to # listen # to those that care about them and to consider what advice they are given. A # an adult the actual decision needs to be theirs. I realize that this isn't th # advise that you were wanting to hear. I would submit that what is important i # that they know and believe that regardless of their decision that you as a # parent will be there for them if needed. Children seem to learn best by doing # Regardless of the outcome of that doing process. I suspect that you are right, it is what I've been thinking, but it is hard as hell to get out of this protective mode I've been in for a very long time.
