[QUOTE="Lil, post: 668125, member: 17309"] On the up side, they all seem to be fine now. Oldest (who blew himself up - long story) is disabled but seems to get along just fine on his income and seems happy enough. Middle overcame his drug habit and has a sweet wife, a decent job and three kids he's crazy about. Youngest also has a lovely little girl and apparently a large, extended family through her boyfriend, with whom she lives. Of course, sis said reason her daughter left was she hated living with their rules. So....we'll see how my kid does. He really is. I'm blessed to have married into it. I wish we could take credit for making a well-thought-out plan, but the fact is it was kind of like an impulse buy. He left. Clearly wasn't coming back to our town...ever. I got to thinking about the holidays and traveling - I've always wanted to travel at Christmas - there's a castle in Ireland I'd give a months salary to go to, but I can't afford a month's salary (and that's actually what it would take!) so I mentioned Vegas. We'd meant to go again so we started looking on-line at packages. A couple days later we realized airfare was only going up, so we booked. Nonrefundable. No turning back now. :) I did send a FB message last night. I just said, "I know you're with <sis>. Hope you find work and it works out. I love you. Try hard." His response was "I am. I love you too." [/QUOTE]
