Daze, how is his job going now? I was thinking about him this morning because my difficult child just had her second day of a new job. She is delivering pizza, and she did have a little experience doing this previously. Even so, it was a big step for her.


She is proud of the money she is making because she will be able to finance her own apartment that she's moving into with a "friend" (I think it's a romantic interest) in a little over a week. We have just been letting her stay here while she recovers from the suicide attempt (in February) and gets herself back on her feet.


As I have said in posts before, with a bipolar child, you never know what the next minute will bring, so I maintain a degree of detachment all the time, although I do allow myself to reattach a little bit when things are going well, but I'm always cautious.


I have a mental image of myself as a piece of Velcro. Attach ,reattach, attach, reattach, always keeping the two pieces in my hands so I can attach and reattach as necessary for MY sanity.


Good luck to your son and please update!
