[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 658239, member: 15832"] Haha, yes, Cedar! Your suggestion that he break things into steps is excellent. We/his case worker are trying to convey this to him as he gets very overwhelmed and anxious. Yes, he says he's applied for training. Hasn't heard anything. Well, I was more blunt then that. I told him "You need to get up and go to work every day. No excuses. You need to be on time. " His uncle talked to him too, and told him something along those lines. He seems to be listening, we'll see. Recovering, I'm doing better and I've gotten to the point where I've decided that I am going to not let his mood or his actions or whatever is going on with him affect my life. At least I'm going to try.You are all setting such a good example to me and others on how to have a happy and fullfilling life despite the negative reverberations of your difficult adult kids. And I see my therapist every three weeks or so. It's so worth the copay! Today Difficult Child is a little anxious because one of the guys in charge of the house relapsed, but he is working on getting a disability letter from the MD and voc rehab and working on his resume so he can apply for this federal job. So he's not doing too bad right now. [/QUOTE]
