[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 626851, member: 7083"] It's been a while. I can't remember the last time I posted, so... easy child married his high school sweetheart. She's so good for him. She graduated from college last year, and is preparing for grad school. She took a class last summer to bring up her GPA, and her older sister died of an overdose last fall, so she put grad school on hold. Too much stress. difficult child is 19 (can you believe it??) *finally* doing well. We are 2 months out of a 7 month crisis, but we finally have the right medications and I haven't seen her like this since years before I joined the board. She still has a long way to go, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. February of last year, difficult child and I moved to my hometown - an hour from where we were. Cost of living is much lower, which is why we made the move. I moved here kicking and screaming and spent the first several months hating it more everyday, especially going from a house to a townhouse, but I have gotten involved with a charity group and we are working on achieving non-profit status. It's a poverty-stricken area (which is why the cost of living is so low), and there is so much need and not enough resources. on the other hand, I have been flaring pretty much non-stop and I'm pretty sick of it. We still go to the city at least once a week for difficult child's therapy - this week it's 3 times a week with other appts because I can't find doctors here that I like. I've been diagnosis'd with PTSD which makes a whole lot of sense and have been doing Trauma Based CBT. It's helping. Janet, I happen to have a reborn doll if you are interested. He's a little Native American boy named Raven. I would just need you to pay for shipping and I would pack him up nice. I can send pics if you want. [/QUOTE]
