from difficult child to easy child/difficult child??
Tomorrow she is 17 months clean, she has got her GED (2 or more yrs ago), she has been working full time and has been for about a year. She has a very nice normal boyfriend, and just bought herself a very nice car. I am so proud of her. Don't get me wrong she is still a difficult child and always of course will be. But she has come so far I think it's time to advance her board status what do you guys think?
She always wants me to let you guys know of her progress. I think it's important to her because she knows you guys supported me so much when I needed it so badly. She wants to be one of the success stories she has heard me talk so much about. I think it's her way of repaying you guys. You really did save my sanity and she knows it.
About her job. She is a laborer and belongs to the union. It is a male dominated job field but she is doing quite well in it. She loves it. The reason I mention this is because I know alot of your difficult children are looking for work and this might be a great field for them to think about going into. It pays very well and if their union they will always have a job. If they mess up on one job they will be sent to another unless they do something bad enough to get kicked out of the union and I guess that's kinda hard to do. So far she hasn't lost a job yet and is working about 10 mins. from home. She has had a couple of close calls but likes her job so much she tries real hard not to blow it. Like I said, I'm so very proud of her and so very thankful on so many levels.
Please let us pray she stays on the right path :laugh:
