[QUOTE="klmno, post: 171736, member: 3699"] I'm ok- thanks for asking! I have had a lot of mixed feelings today and yes, I've shed a few tears. But I just keep reminding myself how much worse things could be. Sometimes, i just have my own thoughts jumping around from memories of difficult child's childhood, to missing him now, to wondering where I went wrong, to feeling hurt, angry, and disappointed about all he's done, to worrying about his future, to adjusting warrior armour, to just sitting here desparate to have questions answered and find help. Know what I mean??? But, really, things could be worse- I will post my "desparate questions" tomorrow and know that someone cares enough to respond. I can visit difficult child on Sun. and know that he'll be home in 3 weeks. I can re-read the email from his math teacher who told me she wants to send him words of encouragement because he touched her heart and she believes in him. I can hold our 2 furbabies and they will sigh and melt into my side. Steely, were these "customers" wandering around by themselves like they were a little lost? Just wondering if they had nothing special to do today, too! And, what is with your difficult child? He had been hanging in there and helping you quite a bit... well, maybe he just sees it as a holiday that means- no expectations of him, right?? I don't remember the thread off-hand- But, I do think you should consider writing, Steely. I don't know if it's something you're interested in, but I thought it might be a good "niche" for you. (Just a thought.) [/QUOTE]
