Jen.....I hear more frustration in this post than other's you have written.
Granted your difficult child son is not what you had hoped he would be. Welcome to that club. Isn't that why your here also?
Your easy child daughter? well, if she joined the service...something must be going ok. It's now up to her to finish her training and get to that first assignment.
If you are kindly offerring room and board to her husband and your grandchild, well I hope they are thanking you by contributing to your household bills. Your son-in-law should be working and parenting his child. He should be assisting with the running of the household and sharing expenses. If not...then you really should have a talk with him.
We've all been on that wagon of shoulda, coulda, woulda. It's over now...our difficult child's are grown somewhat....we can only guide and offer suggestions when asked.
Please don't take on anyone else's responsibility or their burdens. Yes you may be having situational depression, it can also advance to something else. There is no shame in talking to a psychiatrist and taking medications for it.
When are you and your hubby taking another vacation? You too seem to travel frequently. How is hubby handling all of this?
