[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 298017"] Hi!! It seems wise to me to find that certain "place," where you step away, detach, put limits, move forward from an adult difficult child who continues to be problematic. That is what you've done. Hope for the best, but understand there are significant limitations. Totally cool that you are an empty nester and loving it! As it should be!!! :happy: Wonderful news about the cruise!!! Awesome!!! husband and I have taken several cruises. I like them...he LOVES them! Sounds like this trip is very special. Can you pay extra for an extra bag?
