[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 620049, member: 3305"] Thank you all for the wisdom and care. I think I am just SO disgusted right now with young difficult child that almost ANYTHING looks better in light of who he is! See, the other day, young difficult child let me know that I should have aborted all 3 of my children. That I was unprepared to be a mother and "give love unconditionally." Now mind you...his definition of "unconditional" is that husband and I continue to give and give and give until we bleed to death! MWM, your insight is amazing. And yes, daughter in law is a bit of a difficult child too. No drugs or alcohol, thank God, but she still won't think with her head...only her heart. And she is VERY sweet and a loving mother to my grandchildren. But darnit! She and young difficult child want to be taken care of the rest of their lives! I will talk to daughter in law about how to talk to the kids (when appropriate time arises) and also some questions she might want to ask herself regarding this "new man". I think young difficult child may be manic right now. As you all know, I have Bipolar Disorder and young difficult child was dxd at age 14 but we couldn't get the medications right then and he has only accepted until recently at State psychiatric hospital, a diagnosis of depression (not Bipolar). He is taking Lamictal...which by my google reading seems to suggest that he could go from a very depressed state to a manic one. I even asked daughter in law last night if she thought young difficult child sounded excited, euphoric, etc when talking to him...she said "*I* felt crazy after our phone conversation the other night!" So, we are likely dealing with mental illness swings and daughter in law's deep sadness along with grandson's...none of which I can control. As you said, MWM, Let's just stand back and see where this leads. LMS [/QUOTE]
