[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 608844"] I know what you mean. And it's such a loaded question and I always felt I needed the perfect answer. An answer that wouldn't invite details, an answer that didn't make too much or too little of the situation, an answer that didn't get read into... so I am still usually vague. So : "How are is difficult child?" Usually received "holding his own" or "we're in a holding pattern" or "still sowing his wild oats..." when people (usually my mom) pressed for details and wanted to speculate and that really wasn't welcome or helpful. So I found that I could nip it in the bud by saying something like "you know we're just taking it day by day and I work really hard to make sure my imagination doesn't run away with me. Things could certainly be a lot better but I have to remember they could be a lot worse.so for now, it is what it is." i hope you find some balance. I know how hard it is. {{{hugs}}} [/QUOTE]
