[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 568111, member: 3305"] Hi Julie, husband is keeping me up tonight...I think he's got with the grandchildren have had...a really horrible cough. He just sounds miserable. No, it didn't take long for the house to sell...or at least get some contracts on it. Honestly, we have never owned a home that hasn't had a contract on it within 3 weeks. The first 2 homes we owned we even made a 30k profit on each...this one, we are in fact, taking a 3k loss on as we were only asking what we paid for the house in 2001. It's just not a seller's market, ya know. As for young difficult child...It's pretty amazing to me that so many prayers have been directed his way. So much faith has been leaned on to get us through this past year with him in prison...and yet he has none??? He did tell me in yrs past that we took him to the wrong church growing up...that they made him feel bad about himself...and feel guilty. I don't know his "demons". Don't know what has lead him to the conclusions he currently has. He tells me that they are "hypocritical and judgemental". Tells me that he has seen too many wrong doings in systems that are supposed to work and "save". He reminded me today of oldest difficult child having relations with Drug Rehabs owner's daughter years ago. Reminds me of the "therapeutic wilderness program" that was ready to send him to Jamaica within 9 days of him being there for their more "punitive program" side and the treatment he got there before we literally drove to Montanna and saved him. Then, he reminds me of the less than compassionate attitude from our former pastor because I was not exhibiting enough faith when oldest difficult child was going down the tubes as a teenager. He keeps finding all the flaws in systems and authority/people that are supposed to be doing the right things. Anyway, bottom line is he doesn't trust those that claim to have the answers. I have tried to remind him that there are no perfect people...perfect systems, etc. That's not what it's about. And I wish he would see that He himself is being judgemental. I know it even talks about in the Big Book of AA struggling with having a Higher Power because of finding flaws etc. I truly hope he does figure this all out one of these days. He is heavy in my prayers...has been for a long time now. And both daughter in law and I noted tonight that when J "almost died" the other night that all we could do was pray. And as for you, Julie...Oh my just ONE MONTH til Betsy delivers new grandbaby girl!!! You must be so excited!!! I'm excited for you. My hopes and prayers are that this new baby is healthy and that you share great happiness as she grows. I am so relieved that Betsy is doing so well now. She's truly been through it all. One of these days you and I will have to officially meet each other...in person! Enough of this "internet stuff" lol. Maybe I could fly up to the midwest and we could get a weekend at a nearby hotel/casino...that would be fun! DDD...Thank you so much for starting this very caring thread. You are a very dear person to me. Please take good care of yourself too. You have enough on your own plate...sigh, does it ever get easier? Love all of y'all. LMS [/QUOTE]
