The subject has come up before and I knew he was thinking about it...no big shock. At five this AM he woke me up "to talk". Why can't this guy talk during the day when he's sober?? LOL Anyway he has a friend who has a two bedroom apartment on the back of his parents lot. It's located a few blocks from a questionable neighborhood where difficult child once spent alot of time...doing questionable things, of course.Somberly he told me "I think it's time to see if I can live away from home because I'm not growing here."
True! Then he adds that his new girlfriend (30 something with past) may move in with him. Whew...that means he will have money and not be able to play the field. I think he was surprised when I said "I think January is a great time to start off with a fresh slate."
Who knows what will happen but I've mastered detachment enough to go with the plan. I'll hope and pray that IF he does this he will continue to stay out of trouble and flourish. husband and I love this kid to death but will adapt to the empty nest easier than he will adapt to independent living. Had to laugh when I headed back to bed he said "you know I love you to death" and then added "do you realize that January is next week?". I replied "yep". What a life. DDD
