[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 552370, member: 3305"] Hi Mattsmom! Gosh it's always good to "see" you, not just on FB! smile. Wooh, I sure hope you're right about my "growth". It truly IS a fine line isn't it? See, with the ankle monitor, I hear the state will expect us to have a LAN Phone Line installed...so I guess it's not "all" up to me. But as far as young difficult child being able to get to AA and a job interview etc...I will have to take him as we do not have a spare car for him to use, though he does have a good driving record. I know his wife will be over with the kids reguarly to visit with him. TTL she is now on a new method of birth control...she is taking shots. And G-d knows none of us grandparents need more grandbabies to house, cloth, feed, or be concerned with right now. I think it is the grandchildren that have really been the cause for alot of my enabling in recent yrs. That, and having been raised without a dad and a distant grandmother, no brothers/sisters, etc. I just have always felt a strong longing to have family together. Even in the letter to young difficult child this morning, I stressed how important it is for him to "be there for his children"...the importance of a father. Young difficult child is not big on working hard. He is a thinker not a doer. He can talk your head off about any subject he is interested in...Used to seem like he just wanted to argue points all day but I guess he was really trying to figure out where HE stood and solidly formulate his views. He also has his Weather obsession (Aspie like qualities) and loves the computer. I wish husband would let young difficult child go with him to clients and do some light work for him. I don't know if he'll take that chance though. It may take young difficult child flipping burgers for awhile...proving to all concerned that he is finally willing to work hard. Time will tell. Thank you for having so much faith in me. :-) Hi Janet, You betcha...It is REALLY hard for me to not see young difficult child as my little boy. He really is a "Mamma's Boy"...sigh, often misunderstood by dad (husband). See, it's oldest difficult child and husband that are SO similar...but young difficult child, he's more like me. He is playful, funny, and creative. He is emotional and a very deep thinker. He is a good person though despite his problems. His heart is good, ya know. And so many of his problems, I feel, are as a result of Bipolar Disorder, which of course I share with him. I wish young difficult child could prove to himself though...not to dad...that he is strong and able. Construction huh...I don't know. With young difficult child's pacemaker/heart issue I don't know if he would be okay??? But I am happy for your Cory. He has come such a Loooooong way from where he used to be. You must be so relieved after all the yrs of worry! Hey, and pretty darn cool for Cory that it is looking like his "rights" were restored! LMS [/QUOTE]
