My Kids Are Putting Me Through It!!!

I was inspired to blog again by a facebook friend by the name of Tiffany Gibson. I tend to live on fb, but fb and I have a love/hate relationship. As much as we all bitch about it, we don't leave because there is nothing else quite like it. Anyway, my kids are/were putting me through things. My older girls are 19 and 18. My 18 year old became a teen mom almost 3 years ago, and watching her turn into a demon has been heartbreaking. She is angry for no reason, and just doesn't want to listen. My other daughter, has no ambition, and watching her do nothing with her life is hurting me too!! But I had to step out of me, and realize, that they know right from wrong. They know what to do. I have to let them fall, and just be there to encourage them to get up!! I know I'm not the only parent that just wants to make it easier for them, but for some reason, myself included, we have to touch that hot stove. Why is it that we know right for wrong, yet we still pull to the dark side?? How many times do you play Russian Roulette with your life before it's over?? I've often wondered these things.
