Jack - There's an old saying: "If you love them, set them free." No matter what happens, Kathleen has to find her own way, whatever that leads to. I had to let go when my kids first left home. I think you need to stop being Kathleen's guardian. Let her fly.

That's why I let her move into her own house and live alone, or with anyone she wanted to, no rules, just do what she wanted. While she was in my house she had to follow rules, primarily for Kade's sake, but she couldn't follow those rules so I let her go. I could have held her in my house. I am her legal, court appointed guardian. When it comes down to it she can't wipe without my permission. But I let her go her own way. I continued to pay her bills and see that she had food and clothing and medical, but she was free to pursue her happiness however she wanted. > >Jack Childers in OKC > > >==== BLACKSHEEP-CHAT Mailing List ==== >Unsubscribe from the list: >Mailto:Blacksheep-Chat-L-request@rootsweb.com?subject=unsubscribe&body=unsu bscribe > >============================== >To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
