Sorry I haven't been on the boards much lately, life has been so busy!! My 23SS has been gone (first in psychiatric care, now back in the military brig in Ft. Bragg) for quite a while now, and I must say my life has not been this peaceful in a long time. The normalicy of it all has been overwhelming!!! Instead of worrying about his creepy son, we have not had any fights for around SIX MONTHS. He didn't really believe me when I told him everything would get better after his son left, but he can definately see the difference.

I have a medical condition that requires a bit of brain surgery coming up, and my 18SS who moved up here to go to school and the 3 babies along with my hubby have all been so supportive...it is a complete 180 of what it was only half a year ago. I don't know what I would have done in those trying months without the support of my ST friends. Thank you all!!
