Hi everyone,
It's been a long time since I've come to the Board. Some of you "oldies" might like an update.
Angela just turned 28 years old. She's been married 6 years already and works as an assistant fashion designer. She's a career woman all the way. No plans of having kids at the moment. She's doing great!
Melissa turned 22 in October. She's still very immature for her age; she has the maturity of about an 18 year old. After quitting her grocery cashier job and not working for a few months, she's been working now as a receptionist at a racquetball and health club. She seems to like the job.
She is signed up at the local technical college for the EMT-Basic course in January. We're hoping she sticks with it. However, she made a negative comment today about how when she's an EMT, she will have to be on call and work holidays.
She had a boyfriend after Brandon; he was a real loser. Thankfully, that only lasted a few months. She recently met a sleezy, liar from MySpace who came over to our house. She hung around with him for about a week. I swear he was the Devil because she acted so evil that week. He left town and she calmed down. She has a new guy friend (not boyfriend) and still sees Brandon whenever HE wants to see her.
She's still living at home. As long as she acts decent towards us, we're allowing her to stay here. She cannot afford an apartment on $7/hour salary, and her friends already have roommates or are married.
On a personal note, I have basal cell skin cancer on my nose and am scheduled for surgery on 1/29.
I apologize for not coming on the Board, but it reminds me of the most awful years with Melissa and I end up reliving them in my mind. It was bad enough going through them once. But I still think of everyone and their difficult child's and hope all is well. I will try to stop in more often.
