God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference.

You may feel all alone and helpless...I assure you neither is true...
I hope this website has given you some useful information and may this letter help you see that you are not alone.

Serenity Now

I know we have to take the necessary steps to protect our children --
We educate our children-- teach them to respect themselves and others...
They should be thanking people who offer them help,
apologizing for a wrongdoing,
they should respect others property and privacy
-- we teach them all this as the grow...

I resent to this day that ALL my jewelry and valuables are locked in a safe deposit box,
that my computer requires a multiple password to gain access,
that my pocketbook requires me as a bed partner,
that my car keys are on a chain around my neck
- I still have my child proof locks on my cabinets
(Ironically because I thought I would someday be entertaining a grandchild...joke is on me.)

I have no poisonous plants in my home, my home is lead free,
radon free (practically sterile- my husband is OCD over cleanliness).
My soaps are fragrant free.
Dead bolts on the front and back doors,
tempered glass on my window, safety guards on the lawn mower....
I am safer than the Pope!!!

Yet, my child is and addict....
Now, I have to lock my medicine cabinets -- hide the key and remember where I hid it????
Its no wonder Alzheimer's is looking good to me ....

I guess what I am saying is -- where are the days when putting
dangerous medications and chemicals out of reach was being a good parent
-- Now if you don't have dead bolts on your cabinets,
you are going to be considered irresponsible???

I just just had to vent .....
Serenity, Courage and Wisdom...
