[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 634673, member: 18284"] How I love connecting, learning, sharing, expressing and supporting in this forum! Thank you all! In a daze --Funny about "demeanour" and similar word changes. Before you said that, I wondered if your picture was a flag from another nation! :) And I agree.....the Hopes-Up-And-Down Rollercoaster is a rough ride....often not worth the ticket. GuideMe -- I sure hope it's his rock bottom. Actions, followed by verifications will speak. Until then, much hope, love and....wise boundaries. Thanks for your kind words of support! MWM -- Yep, meth (esp Meth Mouth) takes a toll. Meth Mouth seems to be the primary beacon beckoning him to rehab now. A gift in disguise? A HARD gift, yes....but a HARD gift is better than no gift at all. I mean this in the best possible way.....I'm glad your daughter is "chubby" now! :) Echo -- I hear you about cheerful lies -- you have a good heart and don't deserve that. Last night really was a pleasant surprise for us on that front. We rarely see that guy any more. We're not terribly confident we'll see him often in the future. So we just savor what moments we get. Learning better Mindfulness. His life seems to run in segments of "whatever happens in the next 20 minutes. So a 30-min timeframe seemed just perfect! LOL! Scent of Cedar -- It is amazing the strength we all emit when called upon to do so, isn't it? Our difficult child's are so difficult to survive sometimes. I wonder.....
