depotguy's blog post - I feel so weak

I think one of the toughest feelings is loving someone so much and being completly unable to stop their self destruction.

You can be there for them, offer to get them help....but in the long run they need to believe themselves worthy.

This is the hard part about "daddy pants" Kids don't need to come from your dna to be yours.

Ahhh...what to do.

a good parent will let them make their own mistakes and then help clean up the mess. Good luck to you both.

It's hard to know how and when to help. Like to think that being there when needed will be appreciated later.
