[QUOTE="missy44, post: 301352, member: 6201"] Hi again, Well he's staying with the girlfriend and moving into her apartment on Sunday, until then, he's visiting and staying at her family's home. My difficult child and I have always been close. He's my first son from my first marriage and the bond has always been very strong. I'm happy (*for my sanity and those around me), but it's a little sad too. With all of the good changes he's made, our younger easy child will miss him. I have this nagging feeling this might not last "too" long though. I hope his meeting at that college works out. I'm not planning on attending, it's one of those things I'm letting him work out. He never put any effort into the first time he went, so I told him he needs to prove that he's serious and get things in order for himself this time. I'm hoping he'll get a job on Monday. He has two interviews. One job is at a clothing store and he would love it. It's further away than we hoped for but he can get theree on a bus easily in 10-15 minutes. If he's in school he'll have a bus pass. I just found out that I can extend my dental benefits for him until he's 21 regardless of where he is or what he's doing. He hasn't had a proper cleaning and polishing for just over a year now as he was so busy abusing his body he really didn't care (he has beautiful teeth). I told him the other day that we could still have him on our benefits if he wanted to go to the dentist and he was so excited. What a diffence, a year ago, he wouldn't have cared if all of his teeth fell out. My hubby and I are enjoying the weekend with easy child's, getting them ready for school and savouring the peace and quiet without difficult child. It will be nice to be able to invite him for dinner once a week instead of having him live here and continue creating chaos. I love my difficult child dearly, as we all do. That's why it feels so wrong to want to do the "happy dance" now that he might be on his way out our door. Hubby hasn't said too much, but I know their relationship will be much better if difficult child is out on his own. My hubby and I work really hard and it especially burns him when our difficult child is lazy, unmotivated, etc. Another thing, difficult child has another appointment with his psychiatric. He's going to continue therapy, every two weeks. Not a bad start to my day. Cheers all. [/QUOTE]
