[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 489035, member: 3305"] Hi DDD...Always good to see you! I "think" easy child is coming home for Christmas...Have heard conflicting reports. One is that she is going to Colorado to visit husband's father and his wife. The other is that she will be home...so I don't know right now. Sadly, if she is here...Oldest difficult child will not come to see us on Christmas with his family. But my easy child warms my heart and I always feel positive vibes when she's around. I am very close with young difficult child's wife. She is a nurturer/a caregiver...and just sweet. Oldest difficult child's wife...is reserved. She is like the old me. Before the difficult child's son's addictions almost destroyed our family. I used to be very rigid, controlling, perfectionist, opinionated...and probably even somewhat judgemental before all of the necessary life changes over the past 10 yrs. Oldest difficult child is actually Proud of the person I used to be...I wish he could realize how extreme I was and how damaging that likely was too for our family. But all he sees is the "ideal"...the reality may hit him when his little girl's become teenagers, I don't know. But he cannot sheild them forever from the world around them. At some point they will encounter conflicting ideas I believe. And then, Heaven help Oldest difficult child and his wife with their heavy handed convictions. We do see husband's family on occasion...mostly for easy child's bowling tournaments out of state during the summer months. husband has one sister that he does not particularly like and a brother that is in jail. husband and his father are close now and his grandmother lives in Philly and we don't see her often. I sure hope you're right about young difficult child. He actually is the most "genuine" of the two when it comes to speaking from the heart. Oldest difficult child you never could tell for sure what he was up to or wanted next but with young difficult child what you see is what you get most of the time. He really means what he says when he says something nice...no alterior motives involved. I wish his "good heart" could surface into a sober, hard working, good loving, family man. We shall see.
