[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 564724, member: 3305"] Thanks Pasajas!!! DDD, The plan has changed a few times now regarding where young difficult child will be placed to work. See, Oldest difficult child does the "Cabling" side of the business while husband does the Network side. So...as it stands today, young difficult child will be doing cabling with oldest. Oldest asked husband the other day, "SO why do you think you OWE young difficult child anything?" husband says he does not think that oldest wants young difficult child to succeed :-( I think as long as young difficult child stays focused on taking care of his sweet little family that he will be fine. And once oldest see's how hard young difficult child is willing to work and how it will actually benefit/make oldest difficult child more money then it could be a win/win. I so hope so. Do you remember years ago when I first got here and the boys were in Drug Rehab for close to 6 months? Well, the councelors told us that the boys had a very co-dependent relationship. They put "Puppet Strings" on young difficult child to show him just how much control he gave to his brother. husband thinks that it was at Drug Rehab that their relationship began to deteriorate. It's very sad, ya know. When they were little, they were best buddies. They were apart for close to 2 months when they were ages 4 and 2 yrs old.
