I'd be happy to give you some more information on my son. It sounds like your own son and him have quite a bit in common. I'm always happy to share my own experiences, and hear others as well. Since I'm using my cellphone, I can talk to you tomorrow when I have some downtime at work. I can use...

Thank you Nandina. You are very kind. Yes, you're right, my kids are adults now. I took a hiatus from this site for about two years. It wasn't just about the drama. My life had gotten a little more hectic and busy. When my kids were very little, I joined this group because I was overwhelmed, and...

Out of curiosity I read Valeriemember's incredibly late, as in 7 years later, comment. Big @ss mistake. One of the reasons why I left this site in the first place. It's funny how people read a post on the internet and can tell you exactly what's going on in your life and can read the thoughts of...

Nice to see you too, Applecori. I'm not surprised that college students are doing it as well. People even older are taking up vaping. I hope your stepson was able to kick the habit.

It's really sad that vaping is becoming more and more popular. Vaping is now rampant at the school. When my son attended there, he told me about quite a few incidents, after the fact, where he walked into the boys' restroom and they were doing it in the bathroom, blatantly out in the open. He...

Holy crap, this post is from 7 years ago! I was confused when I saw my name on this thread. I didn't even recognize it as something I ever wrote.

Thank you, Recovering. I have finally accepted some things for what they are, and I'm being proactive (as much as Alexa will work with me,) about getting her some desperately needed help, after painfully watching her unravel over the years. My two sons are what keep me grounded and sane, as well...

Yes, I still work in attendance. I think that after several years of these new "job duties," if you want to call it that, I have become used to it and it's pretty much routine by now. My anxiety medications never helped me, and I'm starting to think they made me worse. I decided to go off of them...

My daughter and her father have a very strained relationship, and that phrase is actually an understatement. They haven't seen each other in three years. Him and his wife have said some pretty cruel things to her in the past, and she'll never forget it. She still blames her dad for her older...

I have been on hiatus from this site for quite a while. Maybe a year or so, or perhaps two. I don’t remember. I notice several regulars are also gone. I’m dropping in for a little update. First, my youngest son Christopher graduated high school on Thursday. I cried at the ceremony, and felt...

My hair is blonde (as you've probably guessed,) shoulder length, and flipped up at the ends. I normally wear leggings or jeggings, various tops and sweaters, and high heeled shoes, whether they be sandals, shoes, or flip flops. Always heels. As for make up, I like the natural look, so I only...

I am definitely enjoying this time. I am so grateful!

Thank you all. I forgot to mention, out of 151 students, he got the top score twice on his history exams. I am so proud. Just had to post!

I have seen huge progress in my son over the last couple of years. He is a lot more vocal with me, although still mostly non verbal with teachers and other adults. I used to get those "I don't know" answers to every question I would ask him, but now, surprisingly, my son is not only answering...

Today is another reminder of why I hate my job so much. The day before finals, and my list was huge, full of students who didn't show up, or were VERY late. Just when it's vital they attend class, they decide to skip out for some fun. Of course some of the absences are legit, especially during...

Unfortunately, I am the assistant, which means I already do most of the work and get almost zero credit. The perks of my job title. Yep.

I agree. I just hope these years go by quickly.

You, know, a few years back we actually discussed that. It was decided that since we get to develop a rapport with the same students and parents, it's best to keep dealing with the same part of the alphabet. If only I knew then...sigh.

Another job complaint. If any of you are sick of hearing about this, (and I don't blame you) please scroll past. I do believe I posted some time last year of accepting my job duties, although I didn't like them, and being willing to continue at my job until I retire in 4 years. I thought I...

My prayer time with God Reading good mystery novels Petting my cats Spending time with my 17 year old son, talking with him, and laughing at his jokes Walks along the neighborhood while listing to good music Laying in bed, warm blanket on, meditating Warms baths The sound of the rain
