[QUOTE="klmno, post: 278464, member: 3699"] As everyone knows, I am unexpectedly finding that out now!! So I guess I have 2 lists- one being what I had planned for assuming difficult child left home after high school either to go to college, or because I kicked him out after graduating high school and he refused to go to college or work. LOL The second, what I'm really doing now that he's temporarily gone at 14yo. Ok- The planned one: get back into watercolor painting, focus more on my career, get the house the way I really want it and keep it that way, try new things like gardening vegies and roses, travel some more, catch up on the books I have but never read, have an adult social life- not one centered around parenting, take night classes to learn new and fun things, block all phone numbers from county Department of Juvenile Justice and schools The current, unplanned one: Sleep, stay awake trying to regroup, try to figure out how to repair damage to house (how to be able to afford it), try to meet some people, learn how to cook for one again, stay caught up on yardwork since now I have no help,.... (I don't like this one as much, LOL!) [/QUOTE]
