[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 757937, member: 4152"] My problems in some ways haven’t been as very difficult as many have here...so sometimes I hesitate to speak up. But, they have been difficult and I’m all to familiar with that anguish. Our adult daughter has Bipolar and other health issues. She lives in the city we use to live in ; a good four hours a way. She is on disability. This allows for the essentials like a roof over her head. She use to be very abusive to us verbally, but that has improved a lot. She is moody and impulsive and some days can call us literally 20 times a day or more. She works odd jobs now and then. Our son was a Difficult Child in twelfth grade. The unexpected year from hell.Depression, anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and a little ODD too. We got him some help...but his rages left me shocked and shook up. intetestingly and wonderfully,he ended up doing very well. Finished college, works well at a great job and has a lovely family. But very recently remnants of that twelfth grade year are showing through. And as a mother, I find myself worrying probably needlessly and unproductively. He is anxious about the virus and how it might influence his work. He has been kind of ugly toward me and I’m shocked. I myself am doing fairly well. Pushing myself to get involved with life taking classes and so forth. But these difficult kids sure can kick you in the butt. Im grateful that they are both better...and wish to concentrate on that. But of course some days I wish for a bit more stability etc. I will count my blessings. [/QUOTE]
