[QUOTE="Beta, post: 757456, member: 22597"] Thank you Blindsided. If I let my emotions run wild, then I am overwhelmed with anxiety and depression; if I trust God to be strong enough and wise enough to control circumstances and to work in Josh's life, then I have some peace and can have some equilibrium. That's a good perspective; I had not thought of it that way. We have a good relationship with him, so I will choose to look at it as a positive. He has said that he is open to moving to where we are at some point in the future, so maybe he will be near us one day. And I will keep you all posted. We have a college in our current town so we're hoping to find a couple of students to help with heavy lifting, if we can find some that are still here in July. Sometimes this is what happens, and it tends to catch me by surprise. Occasionally, he will surprise me by being somewhat sensitive to how his behavior affects me. Just recently, he said something harsh to me; I didn't respond at all. A few minutes later, he came out of his room and shocked me by apologizing. At other times, he seems totally callous. I just never know how he will respond. I like that idea. Thank you. Agreed. Thank you again; I will check all three of these out. Never occurred to me that there might be something with UHaul or an app to consult. Thank you NewStart. I know you and everyone on this site is only too acquainted with heartbreak. Burdens shared are burdens that are lightened a bit. May yours be lightened as well. [/QUOTE]
