[QUOTE="Glinda, post: 585295, member: 16079"] Wow, all these comments make me feel less lonely. It's been a rough day. It's the first day and tonight will be my first night with no kids in the house. Two went back to college and my other, the oldest left for New York this morning for a job interview. I was distracted at work wondering what I would do tonight all by myself. My difficult child texted me today around one and asked me if he could come by and get his dress pants and dress shirt. Im hoping that means he might have a job interview. I responded that I would let him know when I was home, and I did. He told me he would come tomorrow because he doesn't have a car today. I'd like to know who is giving them his car? Everyone knows he got DUI and they are still letting him drive? I guess his friends don't care about their car. I did take him off my insurance and he won't be driving anything of mine or the other kids.
