[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 606650"] My husband is in his 60s (I'm not there yet), and I read the post about time to him. We both liked it, but I think for the first time he understands why I come here now and again. Our difficult child has GREATLY bothered husband from time to time (for sure), but since he has turned 60, her antics have REALLY REALLY REALLY bothered him. And, he speaks at least a few times a week, warning me that he WILL NOT put up/tolerate, etc. any m ore difficult child stuff when he retires. He wants PEACE. I find this interesting, since more and more, we have had to or are willing to put up with less and less difficult child business. She lives separate from us and she gets the bare minimum help from us. But, I have mentioned that perhaps she should live within one or two hours drive from us (as opposed to four hours), when he retires, so that we can get to her now and again. Even that, sets him into a tailspin. Anyway, I do like the discussion here. Beautiful posts!!! :) I've always said that we need to be happy and enjoy life even with difficult child "stuff" in the background. Kathy, I think all this about your difficult child is wonderful news. She is at of the house, knows she is not to come back, is out of the STATE!, and has a JOB!!!!! Surely you will work it out whether or not to help her financially with some things, partially, temporarily, etc. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
