[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 666651, member: 77"] Well, I'll just say hello. I haven't posted for ages, but I actually do come on the board and look every day, just to see what's going on and stay in touch. My difficult child has been in Australia for several years now. I went to see him about 18 months ago (and met Marge and Marge's Man), and just the fact that I made that enormous trip (I saved for just over a year in order to make that trip), just that fact seems to have been the most enormous step towards mending my relationship with him, and in the wake of that, my husband's relationship with him. We speak on the phone very often (really cheap rates these days). Actually, my oldest son (aged 45) is getting married in two months' time (very thrilling, he is a former difficult child) to a lovely girl, they have two small children and he is finally going to settle down, and difficult child phoned me this morning to tell me he had booked his flight to come to the wedding. difficult child is holding down a job managing a coffee bar. He has friends. I'm not happy about his hobby -- he races motorbikes on a race track. But he seems to be doing fine. There, that's my update. I have turned 70, but I am still working (self-employed, editing and proofreading). Now have 31 grandchildren (and another one on the way) and two great grandchildren. Let's see some other old-timers give us an update now. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
