A few days ago I wrote about his errant son who causes me so much angst. I've been trying really hard to think kind thoughts, be pleasant to him, telling myself to take it all in my stride etc etc because I know that stressing about it doesn't do me any good.Last night was one of those last straw things. We came home after being out for tea and the girlfriend's car is parked slap bang in the middle of the driveway. Ok, so there's lots of room and I drove around it but when I got inside I totally lost it. These young people behave as though they are the only ones on the planet and dont seem to have any respect for others. I was also angry because this boy had spent the day trail bike riding with his friends instead of looking for work or helping his dad.I felt a lot better after getting it off mt chest and my darlin said he had no idea the situation had been upsetting me so much and has promised to deal with it. This morning, no surprises, I physically feel as though I've been through the wringer. I could blame it on the rebif, or on the strawberry liquor  I was guzzling (medicinal purposes you understand) but I expect the crying jag  is more to blame.Ah well, today is another day, even though I feel flat as a tack.Onwards and upwards.

Flat as a tack? Hmmm ;o)
Well, I hope he gets the message
and you feel better soon!

Oh, darling, at least it doesn\'t sound like he was doing drugs that require tablespoons... My nephew has gone through two dozen tablespoons since Christmas, and my Mom has been complaining that she is, again, down to four. My nephew lives with my Mom (his Grandmom), and honesty is a total worthless piece of trash! He doesn\'t help my Mom, or even keep \"his\" room clean... Plus, he\'s on the second girlfriend he has impregnated and hasn\'t worked in four months...

There, don\'t you feel at least a little better??? xoxoxo Cj

There, there my sweet. Communication is the best way to communicate. Aren\'t I a wise little sewer rat?

Nothing trashes me out more than a big ol\' fight with someone...but I\'m glad that your \"flat as a tack\" state was worthwhile and your man is on the case.

I can relate I have a 18 year old daughter who is driving me to the brink of insanity! She just got off probation for possesion of marajuana(sp), just started her 5th job, been absent 5 times in 3 weeks at school. I could keep going but am getting tired. You are not alone in your frustration. Lots of HUGS, Nancy

Thanks everyone. Talking about things was a big help but nothing else has changed much! He has rendered the car he borrowed from his Dad unusable because he tried to fix it ! Now has borrowed his girlfriends car to use so we now have three working cars here and three undrivable. Bahhhhh!!!!! We\'re going out for the day!
