Most of the folks here know the story of my oldest here.

But at 16 after years of trouble and not finding the right meds, which is
the least of the story. The courts were involved and he was sent to
a treatment placement for boys residential that straightened out his
medications. And also finally showed him what it was really like to
have a real rough treatment with out freedom unless you earned it.

But he did well and was home in 6 months, but had been in a different
placement for 3 to 4 months before deciding where he would go.

But he finally was a better human being and started learning what it
meant to be human with a good head. But the story behind this, is he
didn't think he would ever forgive me for sending him to this. It was supposedly my fault. A few years later he did. And even thanked me,
he is the one with a gifted little boy. And he has a steady girlfriend that
we consider our D-I-L that never wants to get married. Because of her
parents history of divorces. But he did but honors her thoughts. And
they are happy. But he has always been very much a fighting with her, and
will then want us, usually now my husband to help him solve it.

In this case, good.

In my middle son, and his girlfriend my other D-I-L sometimes to be married
hopefully. THey have 3 stepgrand children that are my girls. And one Grand
Son that is his. The are done with kids. Heehee, but I love them all.
THey come to me with their problems usually. Heehee.

Anyway, we seem to have split the problems with these two. But the
moral is they love to develop problems, and I seem to get calls at all hours.
And am trying to calm one especially my D-I-L down. She has lots of
anxiety and depression. And a past that she is entitled, but getting better.

But we don't seem to know how to get together as a family anymore.
So I envy you that.

I'm going to have to work on that.
