[QUOTE="DDD, post: 553475, member: 35"] Well this is the update. They went and his girlfriend wore her one dress and he wore a collared tee, dress pants and did come pick up his black dress shoes before picking girlfriend up from work. It could have been worse, lol. Although I genuinely am proud of his caring heart...truth be told, my "roots" were hollering GET DRESSED UP. You know raising difficult child's really does alter your perception of what constitutes a good life. His girlfriend is rough around the edges :) and maybe below the edges a bit too. Today she told me "it was ok but I don't like fancy stuff". Ten minutes before difficult child#1 told me "Mama the wedding was beautiful and reception was delightful." He described that the stretch Hummer, the fresh flowers, the various old friends that he saw, the choice of DJ, etc. etc. Then he added "I looked ok because there (then he laughed) some low life's there." OMG...I kept a straight face talking with girlfriend...she commented "Can you believe that they had the salads and ice water already on the tables before people even sat down?!" Oh, yeah, got to share one more (sure hope God is not sitting in judgement of me today for being inappropriate, lol) girlfriend said "My prime rib wasn't medium and guess what they put some kind of porta mushrooms on top..yuk!" difficult child#1 piped up and said there was a portabella gravy, Mama, and guess what else?? They had big tomatoes scooped out and filled with peppers etc. in a spicy sauce. It was great!" girlfriend said seriously "I didn't eat that stuff." Serenity Prayer time. I have to remember to say a prayer of thanksgiving. difficult child#1 rarely drinks at all. He has one or two socially every few weeks. I am grateful. He is faithful to girlfriend who was "fixed" after her last child was born. She makes him laugh. She thinks GFGmom is nuts and accepts that he and I are tight as ticks. Could be worse. DDD [/QUOTE]
