[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 583665, member: 15812"] Thanks for starting this thread, Kathy. I'm thankful for the good news posted here. My difficult child has been up and down. He was fired last Friday. I was expecting it as the place he worked basically has a revolving door on it. He started a new job today. Has paid me $1400 back. I found a vodka bottle in his room Tuesday. Called him. He was with friends and resisted coming home. I picked up my cell, called my best friend and put her on speaker so difficult child could hear. Told her about the bottle and asked her to drive me to where difficult child was so I could get my car. Funny how difficult child got cooperative then and came straight home. We talked. I did what I warned him I would do...no car, no leaving alone, etc. He doesn't like that but, I could care less. When you break the rules, consequences come. All in all, he has made much more forward movement than backward steps. However, personally, I'd rather him live elsewhere. I was a LOT happier before he moved back. Just taking it a day at a time and trying to enjoy the good moments. [/QUOTE]
