[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 611629, member: 1514"] This is such a difficult issue for me because I have a very hard time disengaging from difficult child. Now the other two - pretty much easy peasy. I can honestly say I dont worry much at all about Jamie. At least I dont worry about his financial issues, where he is, how he is paying his bills...nothing like that. I do have that worry in the back of mind always because of his job. When you wear a sheriff's uniform, you are a target. But now, Jamie is part of my support team. We have been resigned to the fact that Billy most likely will never move out on his own. That's okay. While he isnt paying us as much as he probably should be, and he rarely cleans at all, he does help out in other ways. I can always count on him if I need him. He will run errands for us if we really dont feel like going out. I cant say that about difficult child. I used to not be as worried but I am now. However since he just moved out and he isnt up under my butt all the time I can even put him more to the side. He is still a problem for us. Like just yesterday or the day before he took his father's screwgun home with him and when his dad went to take it out at work, it wasnt there. He doesnt ask things like that. In reality if he needed to do something with it, I could have taken it to him while his dad was sleeping and then brought it back. Its very irritating. I just realized right now that he came in here a little while ago and now my phone is missing. He took it with him. That really ticks me off because I am needing to make phone calls today. Im also waiting on a phone call and he wont tell me if they call me. [/QUOTE]
