[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 755074, member: 24721"] Jmom, thanks again for your support. I can always count on this forum to lift me up. And to be clear I certainly don't think anyone here is unsympathetic towards my feelings, I just feel like I should be more grateful now that things are relatively stable, especially when I know there are others here at crisis point. I have had a couple of better days. On Monday I had to force myself to get out of bed (the trouble with working for myself is that I can't get sacked if I don't turn up to work on time - LOL.) Anyway, I did force myself and even though it was a tough day I got through it. Yesterday I went to visit a friend, which was nice and allowed me to stop thinking about Difficult Child for a little while. You asked about the meltdowns - he does mainly have them at home, but has had them at work a couple of times too - not in this present job, but in his last job. I know he loves me and trusts me more than anyone else, which is why he acts out more with me than with anyone else, but I'm done with living like this. As I've said, he's pretty okay at the moment but I just can't live with the uncertainty. Thanks to this forum I have take a big step back from him. He lives here rent free. (We bank his rent for him - he still pays it but we put it in a savings account so he will have some money to fall back on when he leaves.) However, we pay no other bills for him. He has to maintain his own car, pay for his phone and insurance etc himself. I used to wake him for work and make sure his uniform was clean, but I've stopped all that. He sleeps here but that's pretty much it. I feel like he is ready to go. Hopefully it will be soon! [/QUOTE]
