[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660127, member: 1550"] Lil...I hope this story makes you smile a little. You never know what can happen with a Difficult Child. They are non-conventional, but once in a blue moon it works!! One of my Illinois friends whose adult son I've known since he was four has Aspergers and was EXTREMELY hard to raise and could not keep a job after high school to save his life. Since he did not do drugs or break the law (although he did many dangerous things and ended up with a gun to his head once in a high crime area) he was able to live at home. He collected SS. One day he announced to his parents that he had cashed his entire SS check to buy a one way ticket to a South American country to get married. You can only imagine their horror. He had never met this girl. It was an internet thing. He went with no extra money. Well, they lived together for several months then he married her in a ceremony in her country. Six months after th e wedding, they both came to the U.S. and got their own place. He did not do well working, but did become a Minister and she got a job right away cleaning houses. He sometimes officiates weddings and other pastoral stuff. They have just celebrated their ten year anniversary and she is very good for him. She learned the language perfectly and Difficult Child has settled down and has had no real drama since the marriage. You can't make this stuff up. So you never know what life is going to throw at you. Take heart and remember that anything can happen, even something good. Hugs and lots a nd lots of good vibes and prayers. I know this must be terribly, terribly hard for such a loving person such as yourself. I hope this little story cheered you up and did not have the opposite affect. If so, I am so sorry. [/QUOTE]
