[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 629659, member: 1550"] Thanks all. Really appreciate the good wishes. Sonic is just a great young man. Hard to explain about him other than to say everyone who meets him loves him and he overachieves constantly. I will miss him living with us, but he will be IN HIS OWN MAN CAVE...lol...and so close to us and he has a team set up to keep an eye on his well being and I will too of course. I would love to revisit the dorky psychologist we saw when Sonic was four who smugly said, "I see THESE kids all the time and there is nothing you can do for THESE kids." I really think all the psychologists thought that about him. Must be fetal alcohol (he's not). Must never be able to become independent. He's a lot more independent than many kids without his disability and he is a lot happier than most people and I am just so proud of him. But I'm still Mom and I will miss him, knowing he is just upstairs and all I need to do is call for him to see him. Oh, well. Our kids have to grow up. THat's what not enabling our difficult children is all about, right? Jumper is so busy I rarely see her so in a sad way I am ready to hug her and let her fly. She has been nothing but a joy to hub and I and I have to say my two youngest kids, who lived in a toatlly intact family, with lots of stability and love turned out to be the nicest people. Coincidence? Probably. They DID have the trauma of Psychokid. As for Kaili, my grandbaby, every time Julie calls me I think it's that she had the baby early. I literally jump a mile. I can't wait to see her. She is going to be mixed race...Asian and caucasian...I think those children are usually exotic and beautiful and both Julie and her SO are attractive. I already bought her a baby doll appropriate for newborn-up that is Asian, two baby mats, tons of clothes, a stroller, and many other items. Now while all this is going on (and Tom is moving Sonic today and we are on a break), 36 calls. Nonstop. To discuss his love life. Seriously, he does seem to understand I am not only busy with t he other kids, but Tom and I are also moving soon and we are packing at record pace...plus I work. Instead of calling me twenty times in a row, which sends Tom's and Jumper's blood pressure skyrocketing (and mine too), he has only called, say, three times in a row. I only answer when I am able and in the mood to discuss something he should be talking about with a friend that he doesn't have. He is childlike and wants ME to help him decide whether to boot the honey or not. When I tell him it's his decision, I can tell him forcing himself not to yell at me so that I will not hang up. What 36 year old still checks in with Mom after his lovelife? I am so nervous and stressed and depressed and happy and then sad again all at once that I have not been giving Mr. 36 that much time. With a packed suitcase for Chicago in our room plus packed boxes for our dodwnscale plus shopping for little stuff Sonic will lneed but doesn't think about...I'm really not up to this. All I need now is for Sis to call...lol (she won't.) Anyhow, thank you for undersatnding. I have never had so many things going on in my family (which I consider just the six of us) at one time. And although they are all positive, except for 36's lovelife, I don't always feel happy about the two youngest flying the coupe. Often I cry to myself because I'll miss them both so very much and this is the beginning of both of their adulthoods. It will never be quite the same again. [/QUOTE]
