4. No forgiveness necessary.

Sorry you have so many anxieties at home. You are not alone.

I have quite a few friends who either currently have--or recently had--adult children living at home.
The job market is still pretty lousy in a lot of places. Some of these adults either have mental health
issues or financial management issues and are still finding their way.

As for the one in high school, how are the grades? Or activities? Eight years ago when our youngest
was getting ready to go to college, my husband spent a lot of time on-line looking for and helping
him apply for scholarships. It paid off. Fortunately, he was happy to go in-state to UNC, but the scholarship
money our son was awarded just about paid his tuition bill for four years, so we only had to contribute for
books and living expenses. It's never too early to start looking for college aid.

Hope the health issues you and your husband are facing resolve. I hear you, there. We are also facing the
possibility of a potentially devastating diagnosis for my husband. More info is needed; he has an appointment
with a neurologist this week that we hope will start to get some answers.

So, please, yes, do have some fun!
