[QUOTE="Did-I, post: 269948, member: 24"] Hi Girls!! Thanks for the warm welcome back!! Yes, the grandkids are absolutely wonderful. If difficult child #2 surprises me with another one I'm gonna choke her!!! ;) T is a handful, to say the least. Bio-idiot was released from prison August last year. He had minimal contact with T in the beginning and has since had none. I know this takes a toll on him. He's never had a relationship with him, but just knowing that there's a father out there that doesn't care about him..... Add to that a baby sister and brother in one year's time when all his life he's had mom all to himself.... husband and I try our best to help keep him on an even keel and he knows he can depend on us and confide when he needs to. As far as difficult child goes, well what can I say - my heart has gone cold. I've only been to visit him about three times since he was put in - I just can't see him. He writes and he calls. When he calls, husband takes most of them, though I'll talk to him on occasion. Hard as it is, husband does the visiting and talking to keep the stress level off of me as much as he can, and he feels "obligated" because he's our son. difficult child DID commit the crimes he's charged with and he WILL do a lot of jail time. No regrets, I do not feel guilty and do / will not help him in any way. He did this and he will pay for what he did. ((((HUGS everyone!)))) I'll try not to be such a stranger! Star! I miss your funny wit!!!! I'm so glad Dude has finally found his path and I pray for you that he continues down that one! :) Witz, Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm sure I'll find something soon :) husband and I do have some side businesses going, but with the economy, we're not doing much with them right now. Daisylover, thanks - let me know if you find that key! ;) Janet, boy did you hit the nail on the head in skipping kids and going right to grandkids! LOL Congrats on your grandbabies!!! :) Good thoughts coming your way that Cory's other shoe stays in the air!! Nomad, kudos for your progress with the family! :) I still have issues with detaching where difficult child #2 is concerned :( [/QUOTE]
