[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 603817, member: 1721"] Thank you, Lisa. Yep. I'm thinking that is just how my face looked too, when husband and I found the where-is-difficult child-going-to-live thing taken right out of our hands. How is the sister-in-law, now? Actually, I would be so happy to have difficult child living closer to me. But not when she is drugging and drinking and running with the worst people imaginable. It is so shaming to live with everyone knowing what your child is doing, and wondering what kind of parents you must have been, for that to have happened to your child. That was one of the good things about life down South. No one even knew our children had been difficult children. Ha! Looks like my incognito life is over. :O) Whatever. I am probably too concerned about what people think of me, anyway. Still, it was very, very nice to pretend our family was normal. husband says I have to be happy to have had that experience, at all! He's right, of course. Svenghandi? The man, though he is 75, is vital, totally oriented. He is actively running his own business. For the past six or seven years, he took excellent care of an increasingly incapacitated wife, until her recent death. I can understand his motivation in wanting to help difficult child. I can understand him offering her room and board to take that pressure off about living with her parents. I can understand his decision not to waste any more time before declaring his intentions. I am good with all that, now. I even thanked the man. Sincerely, even. That was a good thought, though. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
