[QUOTE="nlj, post: 671395, member: 17650"] I recently read Alb's thread on here about her son's recent positive steps. It would be great to hear of another one of 'our' kids taking positive steps. My son has been moving in a good direction recently. I know though that this could change at any time. It has been many years since I thought much of long-term future moves for him. I have learnt to think of it all in terms of 'today'. How is he today? It's a good day. Great. That's it. No further. I can cope with single days, but I can't cope with thinking of future years or months or weeks or even future days. Just this day - it's okay. I think the worry for me in your post Lil, is that you are thinking of his future, finding an apartment, moving in with the girlfriend, keeping the job, living the life. For me that's the worry. I like that he's working today, that you're speaking today, that he's well today. I have learnt to not think in terms of my son's future, as long as it's ok today. Life is a series of single days. Where is the girlfriend? Why can't she be finding them an apartment? [/QUOTE]
