[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 759877, member: 24721"] I'd love to know how everyone is doing right now! Me - I have no real update to speak of. Things are the same with my son. He is working still (thank God) and living independently from us. He has a steady girlfriend who is sensible and seems to be a good influence on him, so we pray that she will stick around. I was worried about her being with him at first (for her sake, because of his unstable moods) but she seems to know how to handle him. She comes from a nice family and has plenty of friends, so she has a good healthy support system around her. I don't think she will put up with any crap from him (at least this is my hope!) I know that sounds good (and it is) but I am still traumatised by things that have happened in the past and I don't trust that this stable period will last. Trying my best to take it one day at a time. Personally, I have had a period of doing well and coping better, but I still have low days. I still have worry running through my brain like a constant soundtrack - sometimes the sound is louder than others. I'm trying my best not to give in to the worry and to distract myself with things that I enjoy when the low moods strike. My husband and I bought a van and we are converting it to a camper! Our youngest will head off to university next year and we will be empty nesters. We are both still working (we are only in our 50s) so we will be taking short trips to begin with, but hoping to do longer ones as time goes on. I'd truly love to hear how all of you are going and how your Difficult Child is doing now. [/QUOTE]
