Hello everyone who remembers me. I wanted to drop in and give everyone an update, though there isn't anything really huge going on, and just let you know I still think of all of you often.
Maybe I should be posting this in the watercooler, but this is where I always posted most, so I knew I would find most of the people who would remember me here.
I'm doing well, still dating the guy I have been with for a little over a year. I can't believe that it was 2 years ago my ex and I separated and ended our marriage. Sometimes it seems like yesterday, sometimes it seems like forever. Anyway, the guy I'm seeing is great, respectful, funny and I'm still just taking it slow enjoying life.
My son, ex-difficult child/easy child???? sometimes I still wonder
, is doing o.k. He has been clean for almost 3 years, though still on methadone (switched from suboxone to methadone not to long ago!!). He has an apartment with his girlfriend (not wingnut, for those of you who remember wingnut) and he works and kind of pays his bills. I feel like this is the way he will live forever, but at least he stays out of trouble and seems happy with his life. I harass him constantly to come off the methadone, but you know how that goes!!
easy child daughter is driving me nuts right now. If you remember her boyfriend got in a serious car accident a little over 6 months ago which resulted in brain surgery, the whole bit. He just had his final surgery 2 days ago where they replaced the piece of his skull that they had to leave out after surgery until all the swelling was gone, which took longer then it should have, because his doctor went on sabatical (not sure that is spelled right). easy child quit working as soon as he was released from the hospital, while everyone else went on with their lives, including his parents and family, she became his care taker!!! I have had an awful time pushing her to work, resume her education, just basically move on with her life. My grand mother had left her money for school when she passed away and I have recently realized that she and her boyfriend lived on it for the last 6 months and probably doesn't have anything left for school
I know things could be much worse, but this is a girl who had so much ambition, goals and plans for her future that have been put so far aside, that I worry if she will ever get back to them. Her boyfriend has made a 90% recovery so far, expected to be 100%, so I'm praying he goes back to work now that his surgeries are over, and then she will resume her life again.
Anyway, I need to get back to work. I did do some looking around to see how all of you are doing. Looks like some have made progress and others are still struggleing. I will always remember what a supportive place this was to come to when my life was not in a good place and I hope you all find that support here from each other.
I'll try and check back in soon, or more often.
Take care
