[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 523043, member: 13542"] Thank you all for your kindness, as always, it means a lot. I just wanted to share that yesterday, Easter Sunday, was a really good day. My difficult child has been gone for a few days. She and her new roommates were cleaning out her room which had been used as a storage room, so it required work. I had saved this sofa bed for her, stored in the garage for months, hoping she would need it in her new place .......[I][U]someday. [/U][/I]Everyone kept telling me to get rid of it, that she wasn't going to get it together. I hung onto that couch, with that tiny bit of hope we all hold onto for our difficult child's. Well, yesterday, she and the new roommate came over to pick up the couch. We loaded it into his truck. She was busy collecting some of her stuff from all over my house. Then she happily announced that they were going to the store to pick up stuff for dinner. I stood in the driveway watching them drive away. My heart was so happy.

I still have that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach, I think most of you know that one, our difficult child's are so unpredictable, uncertainty almost always reigns, you never really know how it will go.......................it may take some time for that to go away, but for right now, I am very, very grateful.
