[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 307922, member: 77"] Katya -- yes, Hatima Tova is spot on! It means a "good inscription" and means that one hopes to be inscribed for a good year by the powers that be! Suz, thanks for your empathy. Well, the fast is behind us. No one likes to go into it with bad feelings, including difficult child apparently, because about one hour before the fast started he phoned us, said sorry and that was his reaching out to "make good" again. I am thrilled that he felt he could do that. Fran, that is what you said you hoped would happen, and it did! And this evening (after the fast is over) he is already here. Of course, no more peace and quiet! But it's better this way, for the time being. I do believe that the time is soon coming when he will find somewhere else to live, but he has to be organized first of all with a regular job. He really does want to work, but so far it isn't happening. He has all sorts of small jobs, but nothing regular, and he is well aware that it can't carry on like this. He is looking. The economic climate isn't good anywhere in the world at the moment, and that includes Israel. But the axiom still holds true, that someone who is determined to find a job will find work and an income. So we will have to keep a spark of optimism, although I must admit that I am really tired of it all, but I have no choice. As Going North said, traditionally Jewish boys don't usually leave home early, before they get married. Although I certainly wouldn't object to breaking with tradition on this one!! So we are back to the old situation again. I see that he is trying to behave well with my husband which is good. Oh, and by the way, old difficult child was with us to eat before the fast and then again after the fast, and he slept here last night (very rare indeed). He couldn't have behaved better, so I presume his lousy mood on Friday night was a transient thing and not the beginning of some nasty episode. Oh, one has to be so patient! OK, that's it for now. Thank you all for being there. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
