worrying

[Lyracreede]

All day I just sit and worry about my adult daughter.

Why? Is she in some kind of trouble ? You worrying about it won't help her. If there is something you can do to help her.. Do it if it doesn't hurt you in someway. If she's fine, there is nothing to worry about. Hugs are being sent your way.

Thank you for your reply. I don't think she s fine otherwise I wouldn't worry. She has mental and physical health issues, she has a young child,marriage and financial problems. I can do nothing about those.

Your right there is nothing you can do except give her your love and support.

It is just as hard to be a parent of adult children as it is to young children isn't it? The biggest thing I have learned is that, while I can guide and give advice at times to my adult children, THEY are responsible for their OWN decisions and choices. I can't make them do things like I could when they were 2 or even 12. It's hard to sit and watch some of those destructive choices but let your daughter know you LOVE her and WILL ALWAYS love her and be there for her no matter what. That way she know she has a safe place to land when she needs it. For my own kids, I just try hard to trust God, knowing that He made them and He loves them FAR more than even I do so He WILL take care of them. It also has helped me to be able to talk to others about my worries - a friend and sometimes a counselor too. Both have been able to give me some good perspective! I hope you are able to find some peace.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. You make a lot of sense and I am trying to find ways to not constantly think about it but it is hard.
