[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 598593"] Fantastic!!!! Thank you. As a side note, I don't know about you, but I HATE HATE HATE it when women say "you are only as happy as your most unhappy child." When I was in my 30s and heard that I basically agreed. That was when I thought difficult child was ADD and a little different. Later, I realized that I would never give my power away like that! As long as she was a child and perhaps because she was ill, I would extend it to age 21, I would help her a great deal to overcome her difficulties. But, I will NOT give away my joy. And now that she is an adult, I will NOT give away all my time and finances. Life moves on. Listen, I don't understand this. It is seriously difficult. But, even with this "situation" in the background, I am happy. [/QUOTE]
