[QUOTE="WaveringFaith, post: 619516, member: 17636"] My friends, thank you all for your advice. I think each of your responses provide me with a valuable piece of information that will help me here. I have not yet responded, I might this evening after I get home from work. I will proceed with caution, not being too overly excited, but appreciating that he reached out to me, apologized for his actions, and "appears" to have a plan to get a job and straighten up. I do know that he is being very sincere. We've never had this type of trauma between us, the past couple of years since he started going downhill, he mainly just laid around and did nothing, never tried to look for work, playing up the mental illness role, trying a couple of doctors/anti depressants, but never sticking to any of them more than a month to see if they would actually have worked. So, my frustration has been building on how to help get him on his feet. Only in recent weeks have I really gotten upset because he had an opportunity for a great job with health insurance and great hours, but he blew off the safety training class and never returned the employer's calls. He was already practically hired! This is what set the past week's events in motion. I got more and more upset and he did too, and that led to the outburst. I am not in any way taking the blame, he knows what he did was terrible. I will work on my "script" email tonight, making sure to keep it short and sweet, and making sure that he knows he needs to stay away and get it together, but I love him and support him getting on his feet. That's really all I can say. Also, my parents emailed me last night that difficult child got dressed up and went to 2 job interviews and has been on their computer constantly applying online for jobs. I hope he gets one of them and can prove to me and my family that he means business. Thank you everyone, Hugs! [/QUOTE]
