[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 656195, member: 17720"] It is so good to hear from you, Echo. I have been wondering how it was all going for you and your son. I too am so glad that he is in a place where he has food, shelter and people who want to find the best situation for him. It is good to know that he is safe, to know that tonight he is not sleeping under a bridge. It is good to be able to talk to him when he is clean and sober and fully himself. Your description of this place is so lovely -- it is exactly how I felt when I first stumbled in here. I haven't been posting as much as I did. Things are quiet on the Difficult Child front right now. We sold our house and moved to another town. Difficult Child can call us, but he does not know where we live. He has asked us many times, but we keep deflecting. And I have to say...it provides a lot of peace of mind knowing that Difficult Child can't show up on the doorstep drunk or high or in crisis mode. So I don't think I WILL tell him anytime soon... I never thought the day would come when I wouldn't want my child knowing where I live...but if that boundary provides peace of mind, then for right now it is a good boundary to have in place. Sometimes it amazes me what the "new normal" becomes when parenting a Difficult Child... But it is such a good thing to have that peace, Echo, especially on Mother's Day, whenever and however we are able to carve it out. I am so glad you have found that today. [/QUOTE]
