There are still days when I think I might have the answer for someone else's problems. I can see it so very clearly - if he'd only do THIS then his life would be better !!
My son has a great job opportunity in another city - about 700 miles away. It's a terrific offer, and it would allow him to grow in his career. He's balking at the idea because of a gf who doesn't want to move away from her family etc etc.
He's a grown man. I can't make his decisions for him. All I can do is offer my experience, strength and hope, and toss in a few things he might want to think about. And then I have to focus on something else so I don't obsess about HIS situation. As frustrating as it is, it's just not about me.
