[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 172098, member: 3208"] Hi Jo, just got back from a week's vacation, trying to catch up with board. My difficult child 1 took off on a whim with her boyfriend when she was 18--they went to Massachussetts. Supposedly they were moving to Chicago but somehow ended up in New England (from central NY). Anyway, I actually gave her the bus fare for the supposed trip to Chicago because I so wanted her out of this state where I was responsible for all her craziness. She and the boyfriend spent the summer in New England going to various homeless shelters and her having pseudo seizures--she ended up for several days in a hospital in Boston for testing for epilepsy and turned out they were pseudoseizures, probably due to stress. Oh, also, she was pregnant at one point but miscarried. She did end up coming home--begged me to come home, she was going to "change." Well, she came home and treated our house like a hotel with maid service and had a grand time partying with friends every night while we insisted she get a job. After several weeks we told her she had to leave and the boyfriend, who had been "working" somewhere on Long Island, came and rescued her. I think you probably are right, since this adventure is planned for a few weeks off it will probably not happen. However, I so understand that you would almost want it too and would buy the ticket--that is exactly how I felt and what I did! On a brighter note, difficult child has matured quite a bit in the last couple of years and though she is still with boyfriend and pregnant she is 3000 miles away and loves where she is. She does work and hasn't asked for money in a long time. She is always happy to talk to me and we are "close" in our own strange way. Good luck! Hugs, Jane [/QUOTE]
