“To let go is not to fix,
But to be supportive”
We run ourselves into the ground by trying to fix our kids. We orchestrate, manipulate, nag, meddle, and stalk, but nothing we do helps. In fact, if anything we push them farther away from us. Think about it and answer honestly. How have your attempts at controlling or fixing your child worked for you so far? Probably not very well.
We can’t always be supportive of what our child is doing, and in fact, we often must put strict boundaries in place. However, we can find ways to remind them of our unconditional love. Perhaps it’s by sending a card, text, or even a phone call. In some cases, our child has chosen to turn his back on us and we have no way of contacting them. But, we can support them by praying for them.
Some of us have been lied to, stolen from, and cut off from our kids and grandkids and we are afraid to trust them again. How can we be supportive without trust, even when it is our hearts desire that they turn around? The key is to have no expectations. Love without expecting anything in return, support without expecting the results you hope for.
