[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 751740, member: 11235"] Yes, right now she is in a good place. She has maintained stable housing and employment for about 5 years. She and her boyfriend just had a baby and they seem to be in a good place. My older granddaughter is doing well in private school and competitive gymnastics. My daughter finished her freshman year at community college and is in her first semester as a sophomore at the university in our town, with an eye on law school. She even went to an informational session for undergrads interested in law school this week. Now, I realize it could all collapse tomorrow, but these last few years have been much better, albeit with ups and downs. If you had told me all of this when I first joined this site years ago I wouldn't have believed it. I am now able to be supportive of her without being intrusive or telling her what I think she should do. Even when she asks for my advice or calls upset about something I keep it neutral, saying something like, "You're a smart woman. You'll figure it out." I think that takes a lot of pressure off of both of us. And I know it helps me maintain my peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
