[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 633481, member: 3305"] Esther, Your grandchildren are so blessed to have you keep up the new school yr tradition with them. I'll bet they really look forward to it. And thank you so much for your sweet compliment. Made my day! :-) Nancy and Esther, husband and I are like kids again...Smile, we married at 19 yrs old. I told him to prove to me he loved me and he said "lets get married" lol...we eloped and here we are 28 yrs later! The two of us came from divorced parents and alot of instability. We did our best to provide all the things we didnt have growing up...but as those of us with sub abusing children know...there are no guarantees. No matter how GOOD the kids had it! Last night young difficult child decided to drink and from what I hear from daughter in law it was by way of a credit card that he stole from his mother in law. They are not pressing charges. I don't know how long they will put up with difficult child's addicition issues and continue to house him. They are well aware that we do not plan on young difficult child ever living with us again. husband and I are planning our future. We still have dreams. We would like to be living in the mountains of Colorado again within 5 yrs. We have a savings plan and WILL reach this goal. We cannot continue to support (financially) young difficult child. He is a drain on all around him. I don't know where HIS life is taking him...but we will not pay for it anymore. There is a resolve with husband and I now. We are making a new commitment towards each other and our future. Throwing good money after bad will no longer happen...we will not allow our future to be "stolen" from any longer by any difficult child. We have reflected long and hard about the past 7 yrs (since difficult child turned 18) and nothing we have tried to do to "help" difficult child has turned into sober living. There is still great love and many prayers said regularly for young difficult child. But our son's life is no longer in our hands. G-d knows we have tried everything else...Maybe just maybe letting Go is the answer. Thank you both for the care, Love, Tammy [/QUOTE]
