[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 525435"] The college visits were good.... mostly they were kind of exploratory trying to figure out what kind of college she wants... so it gave us some good food for thought. My easy child is so open to everything she will do fine wherever she goes....and it makes it hard for her to narrow things down but we can't possibly go look at every college in the US for her to decide... we need to narrow her choices!! LOL. And I know what you mean about not wanting to die until we know our kids are ok. I remember when my mom died, she told me she was at peace because although she would miss watching her grandchildren grow up she knew that both her kids were happy and doing well...... and that gave her peace. I guess it is lucky that difficult children substance abuse problems didn't really start until after that...because she would have worried about him I am sure. Janet - I think I did understand what you were saying... I was just trying to express the extra layer substance abuse adds to all of our worries. My difficult child will probably always be a difficult child, that is who he is, but the SA adds a whole other level of problems. TL [/QUOTE]
