[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 645293, member: 17635"] The turbulence has not completely passed, but only because husband and I are [I]awfullizing. [/I][B]What the heck has difficult child gotten himself into now? How will the next email from the girlfriend read? when she tries to rope us back in[/B]. (It won't work, by the way). husband has said so many times, "The next chapter has not yet been written." I hate when he says that, but know it is true. I think he has the gift of discernment. husband called his 92 yo dad today, as he does most days. father in law is in assisted living in New England. First words out of father in law's mouth were [I]Is difficult child in trouble? [/I]So, that has husband and me wondering if New England relatives have been contacted by this attorney, collection agency, whomever. We are not asking. As often as I post to others (or just think to myself),[I] Wow, this difficult child drama just [B]never [/B]goes away[/I]...when it blows up in our faces, I am just AAAAUUUGGGHHHHH!!! [B]He said he was through with us.[/B] We are focusing on hunkering down and preparing & living. We are retired, but I took a 2 day/week job last fall. Because they asked, I worked four days this week and am working four days this week. We will plan a fun trip after this blankety-blank work (that is interfering with our fun) goes back to the sweet 2 days/week. (The extra pay will help fund the fun). Thanks for the input & thoughts. husband and I are way, way better off than when I found this board. Course, I was a basket case so there was much room for improved thinking. :smirk: [/QUOTE]
