[QUOTE="missy44, post: 301224, member: 6201"] Thanks all, it's not easy raising difficult child's. MWM - you're right. He was doing so well, and in truth, he could be doing alot worse. He is trying to go the right path, he's just struggling. I think he'll be moving in with his girlfriend on Sunday. She is a non drug friend and has been a good influence in some ways, in other ways, not so much so. I guess we can't have it all. On Monday he has a meeting with the college and two job interviews. His girlfriend says that he has to have a job or she won't date him. Fingers crossed that we're on another upswing... Right now he's visiting his girlfriend until she moves here for college (going into 3rd year - i thought it was 2nd year). She has a great family and I know that he's not using drugs or smoking when he's there, so it's a bit of relief for me and my hubby. Rejected mom, you're right. I am sooo tired. I've been working with him, arranging, running around for him, worrying about him and I'm spent. My husband is feeling the same. We see the strides our difficult child has made and we've been lenient because of his depression, but we're ready to see more. Our difficult child needs to stay as motivated as he was a few months ago. He becomes comfortable in our home and takes advantage of us. We're done with that. Thanks to you both for your input.
