I'm in one of the most confusing situations of my life, whose details I can't sadly disclose. After spending many a sleepless night and in the bed I can safely say I don't have any idea what is going to happen or how it might happen. Faint pictures of what I have to do are emerging, again I'm not too sure on any of them. As unlikely as it is , I just hope others parties involved come up with a solution before I do and stick it in my face :) And hope is a powerful thing.
Another thing is, having looked at the situation quite a bit I realized that as ironic as it is, the whole situation is very similar to having a kid. In some aspects of the situation, I can say with confidence that I am able to see things with reasonable clarity and have an idea (wrong it might be!) of what to do. Does it ring any bells with knowing what your kid is doing is not right but you let them do it anyway because of the below stated;
a) you love them
b) they won't probably listen to you
and c) they will have to learn/do it on their own to realize what is right and wrong and hopefully it will help them and you :)
Even though you know all this, you constantly worry about the situation and believe me, it is very difficult to squish that urge to talk, to just tell them. But I guess this is what great parents do, it is what my parents did and it is what I shall do, even though I'm not raising a kid :D (A lil' too young for that by conventional standards !). I have a feeling that it is in these kind of situations that you learn to trust people and just hope that they will do the right thing or that they will come around sometime and listen to what you have to say. As easy as it sounds, I can tell you that it feels as if you're hanging above a magma chamber on a sole fiber optic cable around your slipping shoe.
And like with your kids, you know might be utterly wrong and the kid right as well :D
