[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 683068, member: 18516"] Oh BG, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know all to well what it feels like to think Difficult Child is doing ok then to be slammed back to reality by "the phone call from jail" My son too has said "I just wish I could be happy" He would usually follow it up with if only A, B, or C would happen then I would be happy. I tried telling my son till I was blue in the face that he had to make his own happiness and in the midst of chaos you can still be happy/grateful. He didn't want to hear any of it. My son has also had a few girlfriends, even a wife (the mom to my grands) It always starts out good, my son seams "happy" but it's fake, he puts on a show and eventually his true nature takes over and the girlfriends grow tired of it and leave. Again, I've tried getting through to my son that until he can be happy with just himself, he will never be able to find happiness with someone else. So, you've made a move to Vegas. While it can be unsettling getting used to a new place I encourage you to make the most of it. This is a fresh start for YOU. You can make your life whatever you want it to be. Find some local groups that you can involved with so you can make some new friends. If you are a church goer, find one, that's another way to reach out, get involved and make some new friends. Hang in there BG!! :group-hug: [/QUOTE]
