Two weeks ago my world turned upside down. My brother passed away very suddenly and I'm beyond crushed. I still can't believe he's gone. I've been on a roller coaster of emotions. Some days have been good but most days have been unbearable. I have to keep it together bc I have a family to take...

I think the last time I posted Difficult Child had just been arrested and was begging me for bail money. I said no, he was in jail for a week and then released. He went back to living on the streets shortly before moving in with a friend and the friend's girlfriend. He's been there about a month now, maybe...

heart·ache -ˈhärdˌāk/ noun: heartache; plural noun: heartaches -emotional anguish or grief, typically caused by the loss or absence of someone loved. That definition pretty much sums up how I've been steadily feeling for the past few months. I know I've updated here and there about my Difficult Child but I...

Hi friends. It's been a while. Things have been relatively quite in Difficult Child land. He's been bouncing back and forth between the shelter, streets, and a shared room since he was kicked out of his paid for room back in May. Anyway, he called me Sunday to let me know he'd been admitted to the...

Ok so out of the blue today I was offered an incredible job opportunity. Double my current salary, health benefits and the room for rapid growth within the company. Here's my dilemma - the job is full time. My younger son is 14. I've always worked part time and have been here for him after...

Hello friends. I haven't updated in a LONG time because things have been.....quiet. However, we all know that things don't stay quiet for long when it comes to our Difficult Child's. So here's what's been happening since the last time I posted. Difficult Child was put up by OTA in temporary housing in January. He...

...but I decided to read it anyway. At the very end he posted MY address and said that's where he is if anyone wants to find him!! What???!?! Holy s**t! I'm not friends with him on FB (but I can see his page bc it's public) so I texted him at the last number he called me from and told him to...

difficult child is still on the streets. Supposedly living in a makeshift tent with his "friends" behind the Walmart a few towns over. He has absolutely no plans to get help. He's hoping that the cold will kill him. He told a very good family friend of ours that that's his plan. To let nature take it's...

...I'm angry at him for doing nothing to help himself and then trying to make ME feel like a failure. Same old cycle. Same roller coaster. Same s**t different day. As for me, in spite of the above ^^ I'm actually doing ok. I've been super stressed the last week or so but I'm trying to...

difficult child was released from the psychiatric hospital yesterday after three weeks there. I was really hoping while he was there he would be able to find some help with shelter placement/housing. But nope - he's back on the streets. I had gotten him phone numbers for a local program that helps homeless youth up to...

...and they don't know how to help him. That THEY called MHA and OTA and neither will help him. She said he's burned all of his bridges. Really b*tch? NO f'ing kidding!!! Even though she was rude and trying to intimidate me and make me feel guilty, I was very firm with saying NO. At the...

It's been a while since I've posted but not because things are going well. It's more because I'm mentally drained and haven't had the energy to post about difficult child's never ending drama. Let's see - after being discharged from the psychiatric hospital last month, he's still homeless only in a different town...

I got a call from the hospital before. difficult child is being admitted for suicide threats. The nurse who called said difficult child gave her permission to call and she asked me difficult child's history. I told her everything and I also told her he's been in and out of the psychiatric ward there several times over the last few...

I spoke with difficult child today. He called from a new number that I didn't recognize and I answered because I thought maybe it was someone calling from easy child's day camp. Anyway - he was in a wonderful mood. He was at the soup kitchen and had just won a new bike in their raffle. I heard everyone in the...

So I just found out that the bio father of both of my boys was released from prison a year and a half early. It says he's unsupervised in a halfway house. OMG! I'm freaking out! This man was violent. Went to jail for armed robbery. My boys haven't had any contact with him in 3 years but...

We got back on Friday from a wonderful, peaceful vacation! It was pure bliss! I seriously did not want to leave. As soon as we got into the car to head home my headaches and nausea began again. My constant anxiety is back. I feel dizzy and tired. It's been nonstop since. I'm under a lot...

...dinner and he had posted all of this stuff for everyone on my page to see. I'm a horrible mother who lets her son be homeless, I'm an arrogant b**ch who will burn in hell, etc. All of my friends and family could see his posts. That was it. I erased the comments, blocked him, sent him a text...

I reached out to the director of homeless outreach at the MHA yesterday. This woman originally worked with me last year to help difficult child get off the streets. I wanted to touch base with her because I was curious if she could help difficult child in any way. I was also curious if he's reached out to the MHA...

Some weird number just called and although I hesitated, I answered. easy child is away for the week at sleep away camp and I figured I'd answer in case there was some emergency with him. It's wasn't easy child. Guess who it was? difficult child! Uggggh! I haven't heard from him in days and he hasn't been on FB at all...

Today is difficult child's 20th birthday. I truly can't believe 20 years have gone by since he was born. Although I was young when I had difficult child, it was a happy time for us. My mom was very active in our lives and absolutely adored difficult child. She has since passed, leaving us with a huge void in our family. I have...
