[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 513119, member: 59"] Welcome home TL. I'm glad you had a nice visit but it's so hard watching our parents become frail. My dad is 92 and really slowing down a lot. All he does it sleep til noon and watch tv until bedtime. That's nice that you dad has a girlfriend to keep him company. I meant to ask you, don't you have a smartphone? If you did you would never have to bring your laptop anywhere. I went out of town with easy child last weekend and just had my phone and was able to keep up with the board fairly well and do everything else I use to do on the laptop. Now for difficult child, it's good he's still there because in the past he would be saying he wanted to leave. I think dealing with their underlying issues is very difficult for them. I know my difficult child was very reluctant to and I'm not sure she dealt with many of them at all. I think you are wise to let husband handle this visit. If your husband is like mine though it will be like pulling teeth to find out the nitty gritty stuff, but that is probably good. I know I let my husband deal with my difficult child and her moving, he is much better with her and doesn't get excited. He's very calm and doesn't bail her out, just offers suggestions. Of course I want to fix things and we both know that doesn't work. I'm glad you're back. Nancy [/QUOTE]
