[QUOTE="WearyMom18, post: 653019, member: 18856"] Update: Difficult Child has worked everyday since being hired last week and really loves the job, the friends she is seeing from high school (what I call the good kids) and is already planning to start making payments to us to buy her car from us. She has been pleasant at home so far so I guess for now, the honeymoon phase continues. She has been clean and sober for this first week back at home as well. She is keeping her room clean and spends rime with hubby and I in front of the TV. She worked with him on Saturday cleaning our barn..wow. I, of course, live in an ever constant state of pins and needles waiting for the next episode not knowing what to expect. I am trying to live one day at a time and try not to worry about tomorrow too much because it IS too much, at least for me. She said that she wants to be clean and sober and wants to take care of her court cases and get them behind her. I pray that continues to be the case. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior so unfortunately we have a LONG way to go yet but I'm happy for now to have her home and healthy. The hard thing to think about now is the fact that it could all change so quickly and we would follow through on our expressed consequences of not allowing her to live at home but I push that away or at least to the side for now and hope yet again that this time will be different.
