[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 300416, member: 77"] Iamwipedouttoo -- welcome to the board. My difficult child is already 23, but I so identified with what you wrote about your home being so peaceful without her adding that stress. I have felt that way about my difficult child for so long. He still lives at home. From the second he walks through the door, I feel the tension in the air, and the minute he leaves the house I feel the tension seep out of me. I know I sometimes feel like a lousy parent because of it, but that's just the way it is. I haven't updated on the board about him, but I'll just tell you here -- he worked and saved up, and is at the moment in Thailand for one month. Instead of worrying about him, I am just enjoying the fact that he is far away. I just told you that to share with you that you are not alone in enjoying the peace and quiet when the difficult child is not around -- so don't feel guilty about it, please. Sorry I can't give you any advice -- my difficult child was never medicated with anything at all, and he did very badly in high school and didn't matriculate. And yet, I still love him. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
