[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 631108, member: 17542"] I haven't heard from difficult child since he texted Saturday to see if he could watch the World Cup final here on Sunday and I said no. Sunday afternoon I had a missed call from him. Today, my exhusband texted my older son and myself to say a friend saw difficult child in an Asian restaurant here in town eating lunch today. ???? With what money, I wonder. The friend said he looked "very healthy." My first thought is: I bet he's panhandling now. I could tell in his voice the excitement of seeing his friend collect $70 one day last week or whenever it was but "he would never stoop to that." Betcha he's stooping. Anyway, I am having a good week. For some reason, I am more able to let him go right now. I am thinking he's happy with his life as it is, and I'm not going to be all twisted up about the what ifs, what could have beens and what mights. What will be will be. He is in full control of his life, or, he COULD be in full control of his life if he wanted to. SO's parents are here from Ilinois. I cooked a great dinner tonight for all--shrimp scampi, blueberry crumble (picked the blueberries myself today....: ), and tomatoes-from-my-garden and mozzarella salad. It was good. We just got finished playing Eucre and they went home. I enjoyed the cooking today and having them over. easy child came over with his new Corgi, Penny, to meet them, and I was so glad to see him. I am very thankful today for SO and his incredible, steadfast support. I was stressing over difficult child's birthday coming up July 27 and he helped me think of a plan---we are going to have difficult child for dinner at SO's house and presents, and have asked easy child and his fiancee to come. I will make difficult child's favorite---beef stroganoff, and a birthday cake, and will give him a book on WWII (he loves reading about that) and some new boxers and maybe some new tennis shoes. That's the plan, at least for now. Anyway, I need to enjoy the lull because with difficult children, the lulls are always temporary. Thanks for asking, Echo. [/QUOTE]
