[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 174228, member: 45"] I'm one of those who comes and goes. I used to be here all the time. I'm the obsessive type so I spent all my spare time on the board, or researching, or talking about difficult child stuff. At work I ended up with a new boss I couldn't stand so I started looking for a job - took up practically all of my spare time, it was my new obsession. Then we moved the family to a new state for my new job. I love my job but I have never been so busy in my life. I used to post throughout the day at work, but with this new job I never find time for a break. I've also gotten a lot more freelance work to keep me busy (and we sure can use the money), and am trying to turn my current obsession, photography, into more side jobs. So I'd say it's life and work and just never having a spare moment that's kept me away. I'm trying to get back because I know as difficult child goes through puberty and teenager-ness, I'll be needing all the help I can get. I credit this board with saving my son's life and my self-confidence as a parent, and will always be grateful. When I'm not here I really miss being a part of the "family". I have found it is hard to come back because of all the new people who have come who I don't know - I don't know their story but everyone else does - and wondering if my "old friends" remember me and not knowing what's been going on with them for the last year or so (things can change drastically with a difficult child), and wondering what's happened to the other "old friends" who also haven't posted recently. I've done it a couple of times now, and I think coming back is harder than starting as a new member. [/QUOTE]
