[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 565622, member: 47"] LMS, you are a very strong person, no doubt, and stressed out as it is with the menopause, selling of the house and general worries about the "what ifs". Let some of that go. Your difficult child is going to be highly stressed as well when he gets home - the last thing you need is to be feeding anxiety off of each other. Pressure to work long hours, being pretty much chained to the house when he is not, a wife and three kids who are trying to do the Ozzie and Harriet number with him while he is just comming out of a 6 x 8 foot box, a brother he is now going to be working with and there are still issues in that relationship. If you start off the whole process being resentful, he is going to feel that and I am guessing will tank in short order. I hear you that he is "23" but thats a chronological age, emotionally he is not at that place yet. If you want him to succeed, he will still need a bit of your help. Just take one day at a time.
