There are times in life when decisions must be made. I have learned so much by watching our children make decisions that will affect their lives in the future. At times the decisions are painful to make and even more painful to act on. It is comforting after making those decisions to look back and realize they were absolutely the right ones to make.
After a while, one tires of the same old promises being made and once again being broken. You can only give a person so many chances until you realize, they have no intention of changing....if they cared enough about you, they would attempt to change unhealthy ways. When you come to the realization that the person does not want to change then it's time to walk away. It's only later that you realize what was really going on and it's only later that you realize how much better off you are and that it should have been done a long time ago.
As a parent we try to teach our children to think for themselves, to make the right choices and most of all to seek God's guidance in every aspect of life. What a joy it is to watch as your children have indeed become the product of what has been taught. What more can a parent ask for?
