[QUOTE="DDD, post: 578653, member: 35"] Thanks guys. I feel better after a good night's sleep and it really is comforting reading supportive responses to my whines. Just be glad that you don't live nearby as I'd likely be sharing all the anxiety and drama, lol. Thanks for posting Klmno. difficult child#! a/k/a easy child/difficult child is receiving back disability pay of over $35,000. I am his representative payee which means I have to make sure that money is spent for his future security. The two preferred goals are "an education" or "a home". There are a bunch of hoops to hop and I know the home option is the safest way to go in hopes of him having a secure future. His SO is not evil. She, like he, got way off track in high school. Luckily easy child/difficult child didn't reproduce but she had #1 when she was 16 and then a couple of years later lived with a guy who fathered her now teen daughter and her son who is around ten. Allegedly she got in trouble with the law by doing what her boyfriend forced her to do with the threat of abuse always hanging over her head. Her parents have had the three children for around four years I think. She is young for her age but in all fairness she makes him laugh, keeps a clean place, works around thirty hours a week at min. wage and insists that his former "sorry" friends are NOT allowed around him. Did I mention that she cooks from scratch and does the laundry plus makes sure he has all the romance time he wants??? Although I have made sure that they both understand that his disability will be greatly reduced or eliminated if he marries she is determined to be Mrs. X as soon as possible. Cripes, on FB she uses his last name as hers already. I'm TRYING to focus on the Serenity Prayer. Once he has a home (no matter how many move in, sigh) I'm going to pretend that all is well and just enjoy the time we share with him. He makes a point of seeing us almost daily, calling to see if we are ok, need something etc. I'm TRYING to keep a positive focus. It ain't easy (plagarizing her family). He openly says that he loves her. I guess he does. Maybe I'm still not accepting that his life choices are not what we anticipated prior to the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Could be. Anyway thanks all for letting me vent. It's just the combination of trying to keep the business going until I can find a buyer, coping with an aging husband, dealing with the Gov't and then trying to follow my Doctor's orders. Some days I do a great job. Others....like yesterday....it's too much. DDD [/QUOTE]
