As of late, there seem to be several new forum members whose experiences are so much like husband and mine with our difficult child. And, I try to share how much detachment has helped husband and me because there was no relationship. Just difficult child asking for money and getting very angry when we finally stopped giving any. Once we detached, our lives got much better without that constant stress.
So, last night husband and I were out and saw a friend of difficult child's. We probably see him a couple times a month and have not ask him about difficult child since all that stuff happened. But, last night husband asked the friend if he had heard from difficult child. The friend tells husband that difficult child is studying to be a paralegal and he did not know if difficult child is currently employed..
This morning, about 6AM, difficult child sent my husband a text, anonymously, that said "Despite her wine-induced email, I do not miss you. Free at last." (His girlfriend sent a rather long email a few months ago asking if we wanted to meet somewhere to reconnect).
... any communication can cause something like this which can knock you just a bit off balance.
So, nothing has changed, but that comes as no surprise. I doubt husband asks anything more in the near future and I also bet this friend has been ordered not to share any info with us. (difficult child is very controlling).
oh well. Have a great Sunday!
