[QUOTE="DDD, post: 25155, member: 35"] If my responses seem short or terse or downright stupid lately [img]:blush:[/img] I'm operating on one last nerve and hoping that nobody steps on it! [img]:crazy:[/img] Truthfully there is not one area that is going smoothly or allowing for laughter or relaxation. Business is slow. In fact lots of people are really being impacted by the economy around here. difficult child is doing OK but signed up to give a speech [img]:shocked:[/img] and I am trying to get him prepped for Monday. Yesterday he came down with a cold so you can imagine what last nights rehersals were like. easy child/difficult child has let his A slip to a C and he is apprehensive about any effort to kick it up a notch. I am frayed when it comes to walking the line between addictions and brain damage... it is a vague confused line. Dear husband has been kicked in the teeth (figuratively not literally) by a hotshot young man in his mid forties who has overtly used his high profile community position to steal DHs organizations fundraiser. There's no way I could explain the details of that drama. Bottom line is that my husband is 74, has been honored in recent years for community service achievements and the Presidency of two groups AND is not a "fighter" by nature. He is honest to a fault and abhors adults who are not so. Now...he has been misrepresented in the local newspaper which shows him in an inaccurate and negative light. I can't change the economy. I can't give difficult child's speech. I sure as H can't take back the brain injury for easy child/difficult child nor can I make his choices for him. I want husband to fight fire with fire BUT I am having to sit back and watch him silently suffer as I can not do anything else. I planned to get away for a long weekend to save my sanity. husband made reservations for a seminar out of town and then afterwards said "I think I need to have a change so if it's ok with you, I will be gone for XX days." Maybe this lengthly whine will make me feel better. Truthfully, I never realized that there were so many "unsolvable" problems in this world. DDD [/QUOTE]
