[QUOTE="TYLERFAN, post: 167289, member: 26"] Dear family: I seemed to have drifted from this board. I know I said I was staying and was coming back and I never did. Well, I still need to be here and I still want to be of some help if I can. Maybe I overstated the amount of time I could put in. For whatever reason, I just wanted to give you guys an unusual update about difficult child. Approx. 2 months ago difficult child moved 9 hours away from here and went to live with her Aunt. This was right after my father's funeral.:sad: Her Aunt lives in a very rural town. Her Aunt has a theory that the culture here, will never allow difficult child, to recover fully. I agreed , and off she went willingly, to a one horse town.:surprise: Life with her Aunt came with strict rules about the phone and smoking, etc. One rule was no N.A...and I know this is going to be controversial ,as I have always been a supporter of NA. Her aunt feels NA meetings are a way for addicts to meet and then, they only meet addicts, which hinders their recovery. I agree with part of this, there is a valid point made. difficult child doesn't get drug treatment other than prescibed medications, And visits to a psychiatrist. difficult child has a job...:applause: It's a difficult child job.......that's for sure. She opens and closes the place..., they gave difficult child the keys......:dont_know: Did I mention she has her own apartment as of last week?:scared:I woorry what could happen but then again, she seems to be getting herself a life. She also goes to GED school and actually goes. PLEASE NO JINX, but she doesn't go for drug test either which she is required to do. Her Aunt said "As long as difficult child does well here, then it's just a matter of keeping her here." difficult child came home in May to her son's birthday. She seemed she fit right back to where she started. We are trying to accomodate her by bringing her son every few months to a middle-ground to meet. difficult child's son is a smart, happy, innovative 2-yr old B-O-Y!!!!:rofl: What a riot he is, how exhausting!!!!!!! We also saved a family dog and now have 2 cats and a dog named "Ebby"...Can you say .."Has Tylerfan's life changed or what"? and "What do we make of difficult child?" Hmmmm... Just thought I'd say Hello. Got a new Job, hasn't started yet. Love,'Melissa [/QUOTE]
