[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 550793, member: 3305"] Tiredof33, I'm so sorry it took me several days to respond to you. First off...Thank you for your prayers for my young difficult child. I appreciate it. Yep, I have a easy child daughter who there is no stopping. We just moved all of her bedroom stuff from our home to her new rent house in LA where she goes to college. She is extremely responsible and hard-working. Just finished her summer job at home last Sat...then moved to LA Sunday. I agree that miracles can and DO happen at all ages. husband and I used and abused alcohol early in our marriage, in fact, all throughout our teen years. My husband was especially BAD and has been sober and extremely hard-working for over 20 yrs now. By all accounts (given his teen and early 20's) he should have been locked up but was able to avoid that. My husband also has a sister who seems to have straightend her life out. Sadly, my husband lost his mother to her alcoholism several yrs ago. I also had a bio-dad (I wasn't raised by and didn't know til I was 17) who was an alcoholic and died a couple of yrs ago. So it runs in both sides of our family tree. I think it's fairly easy for me to keep upbeat now (I wasn't so much when young difficult child first got locked up in Prison) but now I am mostly concentrating on the sell of our house. We lost SO MUCH over the past 10 or so years due to difficult child behavior's. Drug rehabs, hospitalisations, EGBS, etc...plus loss of income from a former client husband's (the one oldest difficult child stole from at 18 yrs old) Anyway, we have to sell in order to widdle away at our debt/bills. I am looking forward to downsizing too...we just don't need this much house. And let's face it...Young difficult child is not living with us...YET. The real challenge for me will be to not enable once he comes home in December. AND...to put my foot down at the first sign of alcohol/drug use. We cannot allow him to use again under our roof. It is so hard for me to put him out on the "street" even though I have done it before. He is a husband and father of 3 but yet I still see him as a little boy in many ways. I must STOP THIS. So...I suppose from the outside looking in right now I have it together. But December will be the tell all! Thanks again for your reply, hugs, care and prayer. Prayers for you and your son too. Does sound like you have been through alot! LMS [/QUOTE]
