[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 716900, member: 13303"] Update, unfortunately not a happy one. My wife came home from work yesterday and told me she had spoken to Difficult Stepson. In her words, he "doesn't have his job anymore". Don't know if he quit or was let go. She was left with the impression that his father isn't aware that he no longer works at the restaurant. She said he sounded "down", that he told her there was "a lot going on" and even suggested that he and Younger Stepson come to our place and 'hang out' this weekend. He was at his girlfriend's house, or so he told her. My wife asked if his girlfriend was pregnant and according to him, she isn't. His girlfriend had posted a cute picture of the two of them on Instagram for his birthday last week and she has taken that down, along with a little note that used to be at the top of her page stating that Difficult Stepson and she were an item. There is now no mention of DS on her page at all. Not sure what, if anything, to make of that. The good news is that he picked up the phone and spoke to her honestly, and respectfully. That is a huge improvement over where we were. The sad news is that of course we are still on the roller coaster. We may see him this weekend. I will post any updates as I have them. So glad we are all here together to share these ups and downs. It's hard to be excited and supportive when times are more positive, when we know disaster is always around the corner with these kids.
