As growing up has many stages, so does parenting.
There comes a time when the child’s decisions have more dire consequences.
When the child makes an obviously harmful move in the wrong direction, what does the parent do or not do?
All parents face this dilemma as the child becomes more independent.
Sometimes, the parent tries to caution the child that the move will have harmful consequences.
Other times, the parent must not intervene while watching the suffering that will hopefully teach a much needed lesson of life.
The irony, of course, is that the parent suffers while watching the son or daughter suffer.
And so it goes, the perennial emotional ups and downs of both parent and child as adulthood comes along in one form or another.
No one said it would be easy.
Calling upon GOD is not a bad idea in such instances.
