What if I let go and something bad happens? (Am I a bad mother?)
Am I a bad mother if I let go of my kids and something bad happens? I have teens and young adults. ‘Nuff said. The wisdom I hear is that I need to let go. I “ought” to trust God. And I know that’s true, in theory. But what about when I do manage to keep my mouth shut during, let’s say, the rest of their Christmas visit, and they say things that scare me? Their ideas will lead to bad choices! If I successfully let go, am I responsible for their bad decisions?
