[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 126193, member: 1967"] Aww, Sunny, I hate to hear that you and your husband are having problems. Having a difficult child is so hard on a marriage and having two might be a fatal blow. It's funny but in some ways I think the years post-difficult child are even harder on the marriage. You know longer have the difficult child crises to hold you together and you have to start focusing on yourselves and your marriage. I think that's when trouble spots that were already there tend to come out of the shadows. I'm so glad to hear that you and your husband realized that your years together are worth trying to save. Like Fran said, if nothing else, at least you will have the comfort of knowing that you did all you could to work things out. I think of you often and was hoping that your absence was a sign of peace and happiness in your real world. It does sound like your difficult children are growing up and moving away from GFGdom. A quickie update on my difficult child. She is still living on her own, delivering pizza for a living, and going to school. Last semester, she finished 4 classes with a 3.5 GPA. She is still hanging with a party crowd, though, and I know that she is still drinking at parties and I think there is still pot use involved. I've detached enough to appreciate the good things that she is doing and let go of the other things as her problems to deal with. easy child has stopped playing softball and transferred to an in-state school. She finished last semester with a 3.8 GPA but doesn't like the college that she is now attending. She has applied to transfer to UGA next year where I think that she will be happier. She has had a little trouble with transitioning from being a softball star and being surrounded by teammates to being lonely at her new school. We have her seeing a counselor which is helping. She also comes home a lot. So much for our empty nest. LOL. You are one of the CD members that I have had the pleasure to meet in person so you will always have a special place in my heart.
