I apologize that I didn't give clearer instructions about the blog. You are all added as authors now, and Google is supposed to send you an invitation thing. Only those in my email know the address or have access to add to the blog, so it's private. Let me know if it still doesnt work! I used to do this with my students, and I don't know how they managed because I didn't give them author rights... but whatever works!
Well, I'm going to just dive right in. I am experiencing a new thing the last couple of weeks, with my daughter Robin home from Germany for an indefinite period of time. I am not at liberty to discuss anything further than that, but suffice it to say she is struggling. GOD it is so hard to see our children suffer. I keep wishing that somehow I could give her a free pass because I walked so many of these same roads and I want to spare her having to do it... it seems like that would be more fair. I can hear Sharon now... She is here to live her own life.... I know, I know.
I've always wondered what "the sins of the fathers are the sins of the sons" means. I think it relates here somehow.
She may be here only a couple months, maybe longer. We have discussed maybe getting her back in school, but she is so unsure of everything right now, she is just overwhelmed....
Ashley seems to enjoy her being here, but Ashley and I have been struggling pretty consistently lately - she is THE most passive aggressive person I have ever known - and with my dad, that is saying something.
The dog is yet another thing. I have never seen such a thing. He is totally wild at times. He is only a puppy but he is a very BIG puppy. Bob is being a really good sport about it all.
My job is very busy and keeps me going, just on the edge of not being overwhelmed...
I started my period today, and I think this may be why I feel so tense about everything.
Grrrr.

Well, I made it in.
I am so sorry things are upside down for Robin! She will find a way, her way. Your way would not fit her. It is hard, but this thing I know about! Been there, done that with my girls. Between fiances that break their hearts to live in boyfriends who turn out to be the snakes I said they were. However, you have to let them do their thing, whatever THAT is.
It's hard to watch them muddle through. But when they come through it, it is good.
They grow and change. Perhaps not enough to not make the same mistake again, but they grow.
I will be praying for you, Robin, Bob, the dog, Ashley and Nick.
Love you!
I know, I know. I'm really trying. She is suffering... so much... and I remember it all so well...I was there....
I hate that I cant spare her.. why should she have to walk this same road???
