[QUOTE="weatheringthestorm, post: 111010, member: 4424"] A little update.... First let me thank all of your for your responses. I've read each and everyone and taken much of the advice. Despite the fact that I actually have a good support network here this site really helps me. Not only is there the good advice from people who really know what they're talking about but it just feels good to talk to people who KNOW... difficult child came home Christmas Eve. We went to my mother-in-laws that afternoon, had Christmas morning, to my mom's (where he had been staying) for dinner, etc. All went well. Yes, I'm keeping in mind that gifts tend to make all of us happy and nice! The 26th we went and got his learner's permit so he can begin learning to drive. We weren't sure we wanted to do this since he hasn't exactly shown a great deal of responsibility. But, we went ahead because it gives us something to take from him. He so depseratley wants to drive. It's only been a few days, but so far everything seems to be going well. His mood is the best it's been in months. He doesn't seem too depressed or too happy. There have been a few potential problems with his little brother, but he's handled it well. I know this isn't likely to last, but am enjoying it while it does!!! Oh, it turns out he's quite the good driver. [/QUOTE]
