Trudging, I am with you as far as my daughter goes, she is with an mental abusive male. I tried to explain it to her but she refuses to see it. She said it was because I was always drunk and never seen the good in him. Everyone in my family, my ex husband (her dad) and her sister have been trying to tell her the same thing. But as you said it is beyond our control hard as it may be we have to let them learn from their own mistake. Yes I will miss her during Christmas time along with my g'daughter but in time she will see the light..
Good job DD on the Christmas party last night.
