I am not going to say it out loud, just here on a public forum, but I knew this would happen. Plus, there really wasn’t anything I could do about it.

No matter how much you want to help, sometimes they have to learn, come to grips with reality and deal with the consequences. There is nothing more powerful in life than the ability to have the experience on your own.

Live and learn.

Not in a bad way, either. Just to be able to understand, first hand.

You probably, like me, wish that it wasn’t the case and they were not upset, frustrated, angry, or depressed.

Hopefully it doesn’t happen often. But it might.

Even though I knew this would happen, it wasn’t because I could tell the future…I just know what has happened in the past. (And I couldn’t change that from happening – to me – either.)
