[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 572083, member: 4264"] Wow, it sounds like maybe she is actually working hard (rehousing the cats and listening attentively, taking responsibility for her past acts) to be prepared for difficult child and be ready in a meaningful way to parent a difficult child. I really think this sounds like it might be the best alternative among a mix of not so great options available. I do think it's for the best for your household for difficult child to live elsewhere. Perhaps after the honeymoon period with bio mom wears off, and perhaps after they get the inevitable rebellion out of the way, maybe then a better bond with bio mom will happen and perhaps any resentment difficult child has toward her may bubble to the surface and be meaningfully addressed, which could be a turning point for your difficult child. Of course all manner of alternate possibilities exist. But I'm one to always try to see the better outcome possibilities and I will be hoping for your difficult child that biomom's residence might offer a place he can heal some stuff and perhaps find his own "path". Either way, I'll be glad for you and your household when you can all rest a little easier and lick the wounds that come from walking on eggshells each day in your own lives. I really do admire you for working so hard for difficult child. You're a good egg! [/QUOTE]
