[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 621528"] Kathy, First and foremost- I am glad the anti virals are working and that you are not too acutely ill. Your health is really important. As for your difficult child and her future and your role in it--I don't claim to have any great advice and I am usually giving advice that I myself struggle to put to use in real life... But I want you to remember that you don't need to make any decisions right now. These damn kids keep us on our toes and it's the roller coaster that's the hardest part to weather. I know I am always trying to anticipate every possible twist, turn and drop and I feel like if I come up with a strategy for every potential that it somehow won't be so awful. And I never get it right, he throws me curves when I least expect it and there are long lulls where I wake up panicking even though things are quiet. My crystal ball is very inefficient. And when I am confronted with a need to act; my reactions and answers rarely go as I planned. The revolving questions in my head "how will I?", "what will I?", "what is right?", "what if?" literally make me seasick. And I think that formulating a plan will be the cure. And it's not and even if it were: NOTHING EVER GOES AS PLANNED. So, just know that you don't have to decide ANYTHING right now. You can decide when you get there. Cross those bridges when you come to them. She's working full time, let that be enough for now. Many, many many hugs to you. Take care, dear friend. [/QUOTE]
