[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 758214, member: 24721"] Thanks [USER=1233]@susiestar[/USER]. It's great to hear stories like yours. My son is stable right now (as far as I know - I haven't seen him in the flesh for a couple of months) but I live in fear of the next dramatic episode. He's 24 and I am resigned to the fact that this may be as good as it gets for him. (He's employed and living away from home, which is good). I try not to get bogged down in the "what ifs" but the truth is, they're always there. I haven't been on here for awhile. We've had a spike in corona virus in our state and have had to go back into a strict lockdown. I have my youngest doing remote learning from home and my middle child is also living with us and studying his university course online. Things have been a little more hectic in some ways (just with all the people in the house all the time!) Anyway, there's nothing new. We haven't heard from Difficult Child for a week and a half. I just texted to say not to forget to call his brother for his 21st birthday on Saturday, but he hasn't responded, which is typical. He only responds when he wants something. In some ways the lockdown makes things easier. He can't come here because of the restrictions and in some ways that's a blessing. I would like to hear from him and to know he's okay, but that's out of my control. Even so, right this minute my stomach is in knots because I texted and he hasn't replied. I need to distract myself and try to think about something else. Personally, I'm still having good days and bad. some days I barely think of him, but others I can barely think about anything else. I'm grateful for the good days... [/QUOTE]
