Les,
Thank you for your post. I admire men like you.
We do the best that we can do, but they always go their own way, sometimes it's the way we would like, sometimes not. I know - our daughter has taken paths that gave us nightmares and still perplex us, and I swear we are the world's best, gold standard, award winning parents ever.
Anyway, bless you for taking her on, and prayers for a great future for her.
