[QUOTE="pinevalley, post: 535282, member: 3710"] Nancy, my h definitely has the personality of an engineer. He is analytical, and he is comfortable with problems where he can research a solution or determine the best answer with numbers. The fact that there are so many unknowns with difficult child, and that we can not come up with an easy solution for his recovery from addiction is really scary for my h. I know that he probably also feels powerless over this problem and that is bothering him too. We are hoping that difficult child will get a special probation for drug offenders, and then he will have to live at home with us until he graduates from hs. My h and I are going to have to come up with a list of conditions for difficult child to return to our house. Neither of us can trust our difficult child to be alone in our home anymore, and we don't want him to steal from us again. difficult child will have to report to a probation officer when he is released from jail, but we also want him to know that we have boundaries for him to live in our house again. My h and i have not started to work on these conditions yet, and i think that he is still too upset to think clearly about all of this. I am going to give h some time, and then we will have to work together on the conditions for difficult child to return to our house. On top of all this, my h and I have our 26th wedding anniversary this Thursday. He just told me that his calendar reminded him of our wedding anniversary, and that we will do something special that day. At least we did not have to worry about where difficult child was going, or what trouble difficult child is causing these last 3 months, because he was safe behind bars. [/QUOTE]
