[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 669510, member: 3305"] Hi AppleCori, Yes difficult child has worked in the past 6 months but suffered severe heat exhaustion and does not have a vehicle since it was repossessed after failing to make payments on a title loan. We also do not have bus transportation yet in the area we live so he has to rely on dear husband, who is a VERY busy man, or his own two feet to get anywhere. I no longer have a vehicle as I gave it to our daughter so she could get back and forth to school and work. So I am mostly at home with young difficult child. Hi Nancy, Yes, am trying to take better care of myself. I have started walking very early in the mornings with dear husband and seeing doctors pretty regularly. I have decided to quit smoking at the end of this yr. I am going to try the Vap thing as I know quitting Nicotine after all these yrs would be very very difficult! Hi sweet Esther, BIG hugs back to you! Yes, dear husband and I are trying very hard to play catch up when it comes to preparing for our future. I am going to PM you my Facebook info so we can be Facebook friends if you want. Stay well my friend. Hi Kathy, I am happy most of the time...however I do have my concerns about young difficult child. You see, he has no value system, no moral compass in my opinion. He does not make an effort to talk to his kids regularly, pursue work, or really anything meaningful. I sometimes worry that we have the EXACT MO of a young man who is very lonely and without purpose. The exact MO of those I see on the news. He spends most of his time on the Internet...I don't really know what Forums just that he is trying to figure out things. But he doesn't look to G-d for the answers. He asks a lot of Big questions but doesn't really listen to the opinions/truths of others. He likes to debate a subject...but for what purpose. I am hoping that once we get him on Disability that he will be seeing a Dr on a regular basis. If he will not look outside himself spiritually than maybe modern medicine will be his answer if he will allow it to work. He is, after all, a 26 yr old young man who has fathered 3 children, been in the Army, been to Prison, etc. It is difficult to force him to comply with medicine at this age. He is like a little boy in a lot of ways Kathy. I cook, I clean, and he eats, sleeps and plays. So you can see this picture in not completely rosy. I don't know what the future holds. I do know, that for dear husband and I, we could not allow young difficult child to be homeless for long. He needs help. I just hope that we are able to help him in time. If I had his life, honestly, I would be pretty depressed too. His wife has moved on with a new boyfriend and boyfriend's children. His own children now refer to the boyfriends kids as their "step brothers". Even difficult child's youngest daughter is calling this new boyfriend "daddy". He can't do laborsome work anymore...that much is evident and I just...well, I don't know where this is going. SO even though much in dear husband's and my life is "peaceful"...I sometimes feel that we are casually driving down the road that leads to a fatal crash. Something has to change about this situation. All in all...Life is good...but as I said before, there are still concerns. Thank you all for checking in on me. I am and will always be forever grateful that I found this Board so many yrs ago and can share with people who truly understand. Love you guys, LMS [/QUOTE]
