You are a thousand percent right – no doubt about it. If these simple principles were to be applied today on a large scale acroos our culture, we’d have a chance to save our heritage, our values, our culture, our freedoms, and our very lives!!

But, dear Deb, what to do when it’s too late?

I’m realizing this too late, and now my “children” are gone – geographically, philosophically, and emotionally. I so want to talk to them – to take back the mistakes I made – to “start over”. And, believe me, I’ve tried. But now they’re young adults, they believe my ideas are “radical” and “extremist”, they resent any attempt on my part to intrude upon their lives (such as trying to get them to visit me, talk to me on the phone, or even answer my emails).

Now, you see, they have been through the universities, they have been indoctrinated (whoops- I mean educated), they know more than I do, AND – of course – they are busy, busy, busy. Visiting with their friends (who deserve their time and respect, no matter who they are), playing video games, texting and networking, reading (they have learned how to self-indoctrinate now that the “correct” materials have been shown to them). There’s no time at all to listen
to a mother who so wants to love them, to warn them, to hold them close to herself in these terrifying times. I can’t do any of those things – they literally run from me if I try to do so. I feel totally alienated from them. I can’t reach them. It really doesn’t even matter that I know their phone numbers, addresses and email addresses.

Deb, my heart is broken. And I know I’m not alone. I know so many other mothers who are becoming aware, too late, that they have lost their children. I have found that, since I have no means of reaching my precious children, the only option is to try to hold onto my own sanity. I had to give them to God, who I know DOES have the power I don’t, and who I know loves them even more than I, a mere mortal, ever can.

Any response or suggestions from you would be greatly appreciated?

You are so right… I was so wrong. But having that knowledge, at this point in our lives and our relationship, seems to do me little good right now.

Again… my heart is broken.

Thank you…
