Hello all, came by to send this link to another mom of a difficult child, and felt the need to give a quick update on my posts from earlier this year....
it was tough,
real quick though...
difficult child didn't last long at the friend's house as suspected, she then did convince her 21 year old b/f to get an apartment together. Put both families in a tailspin, they moved in together in April, got a positive pregnancy test in May, she quit high school (sigh), things looked bleak
Many hours of discussion and such later, they did get engaged and we threw them a very nice wedding considering the time crunch and budget. They have been married over a month, baby due in January, son-in-law graduated college (looking for new job in field). difficult child not working, but back at alternative h/s to get her diploma (yeah)...they have had several months of counseling together and are continuing post-wedding counseling as well...
gotta say, really proud of my difficult child, and for the most part our relationship has improved GREATLY
there is light at the end of the tunnel all you weary parents, I don't know if anyone remembered me, but wanted to put a conclusion to my story...oh yeah, I will be a 38 year old grandma...now I am kind of getting excited, and it's a girl....
