[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 642344, member: 3305"] Hi RE and Childofmine :-) Good to "see" you both! And, thank you for the encouragement and support. Well...Not really sure what's going on with young difficult child right now. Haven't heard from him since Wednesday morning. He is apparently not staying at daughter in law's mother's home now because mother in law came back from a trip out of town and does not want young difficult child in her house. I thought that daughter in law was housing young difficult child out of pity again while her mother was away...but I talked to daughter in law and while she did give difficult child a place to stay for a week apparently my call was not the only one to the police regarding difficult child that week. daughter in law told me that young difficult child would not "let her and the kids leave" at one point and she called police. Another time young difficult child got into a scuffle with her sickly dad. It's a somewhat strange situation but daughter in law's mother allows her abusive ex husband and stroke victim to live with her and daughter in law and the grandkids and animals they're carry for for others etc. husband and I sometimes jokingly call daughter in law's mother "saint Debbie". She is the Martyr if you will...that is her role. So, last night, husband and I took Omaha steaks that husband's father always sends to us, over to daughter in law and her mother. husband also handed daughter in law's mother $100. It's nothing really in the grand scheme of things. daughter in law's mother has supported our grandchildren for the past 7 yrs in one way or another. We give her money along the way...I guess it makes us feel better for the lacktherein of our son. :-( Tonight husband and I are going to a Christmas party at my estranged half sister's cousin's home. My half sister and her family will be there and I am looking forward to getting to know them better. Long story short...I was raised without a dad. Didn't meet him til I was around 17. Half sister was raised with our dad and had a very close relationship with him. The last time I saw half-sister was at our dad's funeral 4 yrs ago. Anyway...back to young difficult child. Have heard nothing for several days as daughter in law last dropped him off at a friend's grandmother's in Dallas. The grandmother is in Hawaii and traveling over the next 2 months. I guess I should be relieved that difficult child has a place to stay over the cold winter months but I'm somewhat concerned that I haven't heard from him in the past several days. husband and I are enjoying life though...we have such long and meaningful discussions these days about our lives and the lessons that have been learned along the way. I love my sweet husband. He is a very good man. I love young difficult child too...he is just lost in the wilderness though. And...I have to let him learn his OWN lessons. He is so hard-headed! I hope you all are enjoying Christmas, Hanakkah, or however you celebrate this time of yr. For us, it has been a time to reflect, learn and keep moving forward with hope in our hearts. I wish you all the very best for this upcoming yr. I pray our difficult child's and Addicted children will once and for all Surrender to God and learn to live this life free from bondage.
