[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 133531, member: 1436"] I have been living by the old wise adage---"if you can't say something nice, say nothing all all!" Not much is really going on here. Same ole/same ole. difficult child is not living at home, but we are still, for the most part supporting him. He is going to school---I think. He has not found a job---but he SAYS he is trying. I have sent out dozens of resumes on craigslist---but nothing yet. He says he is going to work in the the next week at a pizza/sub place. I hope so. He is living minimally--we pay rent---help with gas---buy him food---but very little cash. PCson is doing well, I guess. He called monday to say that there may be another baby on the way. Called today---might be a miscarriage. We will know Thursday. PCdaughter is going through a break-up with (what I thought to be) the nicest guy she's ever dated. Don't let good manners and good looks fool you. He is the biggest jerk. He decided to go back to ex---broke my baby's heart! I am looking closely for signs of depression. She is still trying to find herself. She didn't go back to school this term because she was looking into the military. She changed her mind when she met heartbreaker. Now, she will flounder again, I'm afraid. Until she gets the next idea of how to "change" her life. Oh well, she's 18. She supports herself---for the most part. She will "grow" up soon enough. Foster daughter is having anxiety attacks. She called and said she was going to the dr. Was having chest pains. I diagnosed her. Then he confirmed. Two girls under 4---a fulltime job----yep!! Anxiety. I'm doing okay. It's tough year at school. I'm teaching freshman for the first time in 20 years---and well, it is my belief that all children between the ages of 13 and 16 should be shipped off to single gender boarding schools!!!! This group is really wearing me down. Luckily, I have to classes of juniors to help me make it through the day. husband is still in a depression over losing both his parents last year. I sometimes feel sorry for him, but most of the time I just want to shake him! I know losing your parents is hard---been there done that---but he mopes around here like he is the only person to ever experience that kind of grief. I have told him to seek counseling. I have told him to see a dr. about antidepressants. Instead he mopes. And spends money! Oops. Looks like this turned into a vent. And I just threw the old adage out the window---Sorry. [/QUOTE]
