Being concerned for a daughter’s life is normal by any standards. It’s important to try and help her see reason to avoid taking the wrong path. Today’s blog is about one such woman who has already taken the wrong path, and doesn’t want to resolve her situation.
The parents are very worried about the path their daughter has taken. They have enough knowledge and experience to understand where she is heading. She also has a young daughter who is old enough to see how she is carrying on, and is subsequently upset.
This has had an influence on the child’s eating pattern, and lack of her mother being readily available to support her growing needs with good motherly advice.
Additionally, she has seen her mother’s mood swings and toxic state, so her grandparents are working overboard to make sure she gets the attention to detail that her mother isn’t providing.
Her mother has been coming home in the early hours of the morning; Thursday morning she arrived at 4.45am, Friday morning after 9am, and Saturday just before 7am. Saturday night was spent at home, but then on Sunday she went out and came back at 6.13am. Each time she was under the influence. This lifestyle begs the question of why?
Her father is worried for her wellbeing. She came home on Saturday, went straight to her bedroom, and coughed sporadically for some time. He was thinking that her immune system would’t be able to cope with this lifestyle. Her daughter was suffering, and both parents were sick and tired of her not acknowledging the situation.
Every morning, she was tipsy, and although this theory wasn’t proven, a father knows by her posture when she is intoxicated. The interesting point in her case was that she slept until around midday whilst into the afternoon to replenish her strength and this was a clear sign she was exhausted. This clearly affected any work she was doing.
In his book, going out to have fun needed to be done in consideration of obligations, but at the same time observing basic rules such as not overtaxing the body; health is an extremely important element of one’s future. He believed that having a healthy lifestyle attracted positive returns in everything.
“If you give yourself true value then the value you attract is meaningful. Going to bed at a sensible hour will enable you to sleep better which will enhance your productivity throughout the day. By sleeping well, your ability to think clearly will provide stimulus to produce better results.”
Also in his book it made sense to live in such a way because his experience had shown him that going out to have fun, though extremely important, didn’t need to be a long-winded affair, but rather shortish high-quality fun economized in so many ways like: rationality, energy level, health, and saneness.
Rationality = reasonableness, shrewdness, wisdom, prudence, logic
Energy level = energy state, having the conditioning to get on.
Health = healthiness, wellbeing, strength, condition, vigor
Saneness = lucidness, clear-headedness, soberness, (ant) irrationality
Any smart person will logically agree with the father’s observations. It is such a shame his daughter doesn’t see the bigger picture.
Take care!
