Hi everyone
I think it's been close to 6 months since I posted last. I do read all of the time to keep up with what's happening and continue to learn or be reminded of so much!
As I recall...the last thing I posted had to do with young difficult child moving back in with us. Well, he is still here. I think he may have had a drink once or twice since living with us but for the most part is sober. I can't tell you how pleasant he has been to have around since being mostly sober!
He is not working and we have decided to pursue disability as he still exhibits signs of depression...sleeps a lot, is not motivated to do much etc. And has a long paper trail from various hospital's.
We have basically resigned ourselves to the fact that he may be living with us the rest of our lives.
I have GOT to get him more involved with laundry and dishes!!! lol
Meanwhile, easy child has gotten married to the young man she was dating 2 yrs ago. He is studying to become a Dr. and easy child is STILL working on getting her Bachelor's degree...this SHOULD be her last semester! They eloped and we only met his parents for the first time this past Sunday night. He comes from a good family and easy child seems happy...though I do think my new son-in-law is rather insecure and has trouble with trusting that easy child is going where she says she is going. Hopefully he works on this before it causes too many problems in the relationship.
I don't see oldest difficult child much at all. Did make a surprise visit to his house a few weeks ago to deliver presents to his youngest daughter. He is a pretty cocky person and loves to flaunt how much money he makes to all!
He and his family have just moved into a new house they had built...but they have not disclosed their new address and who knows if they will. He continues to say that we "need to focus on Jesus".
LOL he has no idea how much I pray for him on a regular basis! As you all may recall...I am Never to bring up my mental Illness around his family and he is also very much afraid of his own sorted past...Has told husband that he needs to control "his wife's mouth!" LOL
Dear husband and I are doing great! We went on a trip to Vegas this past summer and had a lot of fun. Have 2 trips planned next yr. One in Cabo and the other in Steamboat Springs Co.
We are saving money just as much as we can...putting tons away in 401k etc to try and make up for all the yrs of spending on the kids...particularly Oldest difficult child and Young difficult child. As we all know problem kids cost a fortune!!!
That's pretty much all I have for now.
Love to you all,
