[QUOTE="stressedmama, post: 656772, member: 18412"] Just catching up PG. Wonderful news about M and Connor. I think a transition period is the best idea. And from my perspective (having guardianship of GS) it's more important for Connor than M. M understands and can communicate what she's feeling. Connor can not. Hubs and I discussed this a while back about any kind of transition between difficult child and GS would be very incremental. However, I don't think that's going to be an issue in our case. She's been clean for 8 months today. Started a whole new life in another town with a boyfriend. His parents think she's the best thing since sliced bread...They fronted money for her to attend a certificate program to better her job opportunities, bought her a new laptop (since she hocked the one we gave her), letting her live there rent free, wholly supporting her while she spends a month not working "preparing" for her tech course. And continuing to support her while taking full time classes when they being next month. It was all their idea. They said they wanted to help her get her life on track so she can get her baby back. That's all good in theory...but reality is, she's not coming back for him. At least that's the way hubs and I see it. She's happy in her little bubble, having someone else support her while not working. Same story, different parents. I'm happy your lives are taking a different direction. That M is getting it together, that Connor will have his mommy back, and you and your hubs will have your lives back. Best wishes for a wonderful outcome! [/QUOTE]
