Thanks as always for your support and encouragement! And thanks for your concern with D24 and GD, but actually that relationship has been much better recently. H tries to call D24 every week or so. I just went out to get them because I knew H wouldn't drive out there (since he drives an hour and half to just get to my house).
Right now H is outside with S18 working on H's truck brakes. They did some wall patching and I brought lunch back when I picked up D24 & GD. H and I had a really good talk this morning. I will just say that the conversation started with me telling him I was going to file for D rather than legal sep, and it ended in a very nice hug! And everything in between was understanding and supportive and.......pretty darn great!
Much of the talk was also about S18. He and a friend came over just past midnight last night. They were drunk. I told them that I don't do "drunk" anymore and told them to go to bed and we would talk in the morning. S18 (and friend) then woke me up again at 4am to tell me that he wanted to stop drinking and move back home and get his act together. So, I talked with H at length about that, and then we had a talk with S18. He is going to move back in and go back to school. We will have a written agreement of the rules (including no drinking/drugs) and he will be going to both out-patient rehab group meetings AND will be going back to IC as well. I am nervous and concerned for S18 so much feel both glad to have my baby home, but also very scared that he has such a lot of work to do on getting his act together.
So, actually I am feeling really really good right now!
