[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 633449, member: 3305"] Hi dear Esther! You are so sweet and thoughtful. I am fine. Your "shout out" to me reminds me of our DDD...I miss her so much as do we all. husband and I are preparing to move again. We will put in our 2 month intent to vacate sometime this week. So you know it will be a busy time...with finding a new place to live and packing. easy child got approved, with a cosignature from my mother, on an apt. in Dallas this past week. She will be moving out in 3 weeks and she can't hardly wait! lol She is SO independent and vastly different from young difficult child who STILL to this day wishes he could move back home with mommy and daddy and us support him for the rest of his life...sigh. Young difficult child does still have his job...not sure how. A few weeks ago he was hospitalised at psychiatric ward again. He actually drove himself there from his mother in laws. He stayed a week...and the last day of his stay his wife told me that she and the kids were going into a women's shelter that night. She said she needed to do something different. That never happend...of course. She went and picked him up from the hospital just a few hours later. She also told me that he got a new rx for pain medications...it just never seems to end. I'll tell you Esther...some things I wish so badly I could go back and do/say differently. First...I would NEVER do for my children what they can do for themselves. and Second...I would tell each of them by age 8 that they are guests in dad's and my home and that when they are 18, expected to go to college or have a job and move out. I did so much for them growing up and we gave so much of ourselves in the name of being "good parents". But at the end of the day...we have raised children who in many ways think what is ours is THIERS. 2 of my grandchildren will be going back to school starting tomorrow (Young difficult child's oldest and middle child). The middle one has been trying to do pretend school work like her brother for 2 yrs now. She has also participated in many school events with him. She went to the "meet the teacher night" last week and as she walked in she exclaimed..."I've been waiting for this day my whole life!" She is too cute. All of my grandchildren warm my heart and are such a joy to spend time with. I hope you and your beatiful family are doing well. I too, look at the board almost everyday to keep up with all and make sure everyone is okay. Thank you for checking up on me Esther. I am taking it one day at a time and looking forward to a completely empty nest with just husband and I. I feel like our relationship was put on hold for 20 something yrs while we raised the kids, lol. We are rediscovering what brought us together in the first place. Stay well my friend.
