iTS 3 IN THE MORNING...CAN;T SLEEP.my daughter has a new guy friend...he's really nice I guess, but she has made a bad choice and now has let him talk her into moving 4 to 5 hours away to his parents farm...that means my gd isn't going to be near me and I can't keep an eye on her.....my daughter isn't the best at being a parent...shes ok, but doesn't keep 100 % eye on Kierra...theres rattlesnakes over in the place she is going...al though he swears they aren't on their property because of the mote around his place....Whose he kidding...snakes aren't afraid of water and they love the dessert area just the same...sometimes I just want to slap her silly and ask her what is she thinking....she's quiting her job she's had for a long time to shack up with a guy that has been separated from his wife for 7 years (NOT DIVORCED YET)....won't listen to me and dad about it....sorry just venting....PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND ASK THE LORD SHE COMES TO HER CENSUS AND BE REALISTIC IN LIFE....THANKS

When we were young we thought when our kids grew up & were on their own we'd quit worrying & staying awake nites. Not so!! The problems & heart aches only get larger! But keep on praying & staying as close as possible to your GD. Be sure she knows your door is always open for her! Praying for you & your family.

Gerry you are so right. My girls are in their forties and I still have sleepless nights worrying about my youngest. It was so easy when they were little.

I don't worry about my son as much he lives on the property (in the cabin) and works with his father......just the girl and my little sweetheart of a gd

Offer to have your GD while mum Settles in & gets used to working on the land & with extra children. Also ask to have her on School Holidays. A phone call each week can help. If your daughter & youself have skype the call is free. (My GS & D were in FL - USA while I'm in Australia. skype was a blessing once GS learnt the time differance, it was still a pleasure to receive calls between 3am & 7am.

I did that yesterday.. the other grandfather said the same...she won't let them, might keep working on living with me...she says it only for a couple of months just to get away...whats the sense of disturbing everyone is my point....

Like many of us said we can not control our children's decision, I wish I could, my son is going through a very difficult time living with the in-laws and not getting well with them, I told him he can come and live with me but he does not want that. unfortunately we can not have them around us all the time, how I wished for them not to grow up but they did., now they have to make their own decisions hope everything goes well, Praying to God ......

thank you

My heart goes out to you. Unfortunately we cannot live our children's lives. My youngest daughter spent 10 years with a man that was not a good choice, so I know how you are feeling. My thoughts are with you and I only hope that perhaps your daughter's plans will fall through. Hugs Sarah.

we should be able to have a say in major decisions as such

Unfortunately, you can't live their lives for them...unfortunately your gd is stuck in the middle...try to keep in touch to insure their safety...if you feel they are safe try to let your daughter work through it..if you feel they are not safe...contact the authorities...

way too true

I am sorry that you are suffering the moving of both your girls. You will all be in my prayers too. hugs Loralye

Offer to keep your gd while your d gets moved and settled. Perhaps
your d's new friend doesn't like children and then it will be easier for your to come back to your area.

THANK YOU...

by camylow 02 Sep 2013

seems like I am always needing prayers...mainly to do with my young adult children....

Babies are so much easier when they are young -- not moving out and making decisions that turn our hair grey or make it fall out.

by camylow 02 Sep 2013

oh its going grey alright....

Oh, Deanna, I am so sorry. I know how your heart breaks over this. This is where our true faith comes in doesn't it? We have to trust that God will keep them safe, or we could just stop breathing(or semi-stop)....been at both places. Breathe Sister and be at peace. We will cover that precious child with prayers.

I just don't understand why she can't see it, he's married still and the relationship can't move on or grow. yep keep praying the LORD stops this for me or at least lets me keep Kierra here until she gets it....

I can understand why you are so concerned. Keep venting for your own health. You and your daughter are added to my prayer list.

thank you...I just don't understand kids anymore

I can feel for you and know how you feel, I will say no more, but believe me if I was to lose my GD's to long distance I would move to where ever they go, I could not live without them.....well that is how I feel at the moment. They are 6 and 8 almost.....Pray for God to watch over them and keep them safe, I will also.....Hugs Kerry
