[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 270101, member: 3353"] Welcome back! :) I love that phrase. That is just what it feels like, when we finally accept what has happened. We are actually through the worst of it, I think. difficult child has found someone to take care of. And believe it or not, that is working for him. No drug use (that we are aware of, anyway) for well over a year, now. The lady he is with had so many problems. All at once, we began hearing how she needed this, and how he was managing to make it so she could have this, that or the next thing. He is working (hard), making his (and her, and her child's) way in the world without any help from us or anyone else (no welfare or foodstamps, etc). He is not roaring about how impractical I am when I talk to him about going back for his degree. Initially, because our hearts had "grown cold" (excellent phrase!), we almost needed to pretend that we knew what to say when we talked to him, or how to respond when we saw him. But you know? Over time, everything is falling into place beautifully. Thanks to all ~ you got us through with our sanity intact. :) Barbara [/QUOTE]
