[quote=Anonymous]What's the point? Avoiding regret. That's the burden of adulthood. Her decisions and the consequences are hers alone. No one to blame. No crystal ball, no magical way of knowing "what if ..." It is also the foundation of autonomy, self reliance and self respect. She needs to own her decisions. By owning her decisions she will work to assure the best outcome. Life is scary. She knows it's easier for her and less scary if you could just tell her what to do - to follow a certain plan and life would then turn out a certain way. But her maturity is no longer allowing for that illusion. She's questioning. That's healthy. That's what you want. It's time to let go. This is now about her, her journey, her view of self.[/quote]
