[QUOTE="nlj, post: 673651, member: 17650"] Lil I'm really hoping things turn out well. It will be lovely if they do. I've done that ... the shopping trip to buy kitchen stuff etc and spending way more than I planned to spend. I've done the giving of rent money and paying the bills and chats over coffee with the girlfriend. I felt sad reading your post when I thought back to all that optimism. That's nice Lil, it made me smile. I know what my son's girlfriend saw in my son, he's intelligent and driven, just in a strange direction. It's good when we can connect with someone who sees the spark of value in our troubled sons. It's good to share the concern and the love. It's good to share the frustration too and the knowledge that it's not going to be an easy road. Maybe she deserves your support. Maybe she will be some support to you. I'll be waiting for the next instalment and hoping the next chapter has some happy passages in it, a positive theme that makes us all anticipate the next-but-one chapter, like those novels that make you want to carry on reading even when you know you shoud be doing the housework. x [/QUOTE]
