So frustrating to try to do the right things and still see things go south despite your best efforts.
Hubs ans I will back you when you are right but also let you pay the piper when you f up. Make your bed, sleep in it. One kid is onboard and lives as we have raised them, the other not so much.

In the end, it's all about free will.
I have a friend that I met shortly after I moved here who is as sweet as can be...just a really stellar person who would do anything for anyone.
Her sister...well, is another story
has been in and out of jail, even went so far as to commit identity theft of
her own sister (a situation which took forever for my poor friend to straighten out).
Her mother, whom I've met (and is as equally sweet as my friend) lamented about how her two daughters turned out so differently, "I raised them both exactly the same way", etc...
I told her not to blame herself for her other daughter choosing the wrong path...she made that choice, not you.
