[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 203513, member: 77"] Dear Witz, I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier to this update. Your attitude with L sounds really sensible to me. You are so right not to cut off contact. But keeping it on a low but steady level via e-mails seems sort of safe. You have stated very very clearly how much you are prepared to put up with vis-a-vis her attitude to your relationship (or non-relationship) with your family, and this way she can't really "get" at you, which seems to me to be very clever. Regarding "L", it sounds really great. My theory is that they reach an age where a bit of sense kicks in in their brains and they start to behave like decent normal adults. Sometimes when one thing goes right it starts a chain reaction, restoring to them their sense of self-worth. So the job situation sounds good, and let's hope that it is the beginning of a chain of "things going right." (We are experiencing something similar with our difficult child at the moment, and I am a bit scared to write about it because I don't want to put the mockers on it. He is also 22 years old, like your "M".) Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
