Sometimes it might me letting the consequences of their decisions play out. Letting them run the path they choose (obviously outside of something that might bring immediate harm to them) and letting them deal with where it takes them. Not giving up on your children, is not the equivalent to coddling or sheltering. Which is not a good thing either. I'm living proof of that. look if i have a kid and he turns out to be a murderer or someone who bombs the boston marathon i'm washing my hands of that kid and moving on with my life Well, I would imagine no. But then I haven't yet and hopefully won't have to deal with something that extreme. Everyone reacts differently, so I am not going to pretend to know how I would, or fault others for how they do. The worst I've know is a deadbeat druggie uncle of mine. And most of my dad's brothers and sisters have left him to his own vices. But, that being the case, dad said he was and still up to when my grandma died, her favorite child. So I dunno Jen. --- I think I need a drink.
