Sandy - No chit you were up late. LOL j/k Heck, I think I beat you to bed. Anyhow, it really is in God's hands and things will work out as they are supposed to work out. She may even do better physically if emotionally she is happy. Her friends will be close by to keep an eye on things. Again, don't beat yourself up over things. I know easier said than done. The guilt is going to happen and just accept it and go with it when it does happen. It will make it so much easier on you emotionally.

Parents moving in with us and/or children moving in with us can be so hard. It is stressful. As much as I love my girls and enjoy them, when DD18 came home over winter break it was a little stressful. I couldn't finish a thought anymore without being interrupted. It is similar to what you are going through and I did feel guilty for being relieved when she moved back to the dorm. Of course, all the worries of her being on her own returned after she left and with that more guilt. And so, the cycle began. It took me a week to work through it.

You too will be able to work through and you will be fine. I'm keeping you, Jim, and your mom in my prayers.
