Also, if you haven't done so, check out http://www.ngycp.org/ . It's the National Guard Youth Challenge Corp website. That is where Elizabeth is now. We are praying that the program will help her like it has helped so many other young people. Please feel free to email me if you want more info. I'm holding you in prayer and lifting your family up. Please know that you can call on me any time. Love and hugs. Not knowing the kind of problems you are having puts me at a loss for what to say other than hang in there.

Believe me, I went through 4 years of hell with my eldest, but there came a point where I had to let go, just love her, and have faith that I did the best I could and hope at some point she would come around to her senses. Guess what? She did! It took some time, and I ended up with a beautiful grandchild out of the deal. It wouldn't have been the road I would pick for her, but she's grown up to be a very mature mother - even at 19. It amazes me every time I see her now how much of what I tried to teach her through all those horrible years actually sunk in! Have faith in yourself that you are doing the best you possibly know how, have patience in her, choose your battles wisely (more wisely than I), and someday you will reap the benefits of what today you sow.
