My beamish boy

Thanks so much to those of you who commented on the situation with Jacob and my sister. I'm sorry I never got around to replying to them, but I really REALLY appreciated your words, and it helped me put it all in perspective. I've come to the conclusion that every family has a runner...a child who cannot, for some reason, be happy where he/she is

I'm so glad you're feeling better! And how great that *you're* being the safe haven for your own and your sister's children just now!

I've had 2 runners. My oldest was always trying to move in with his friends when he was little and ODB has wanted to be 30 since he was born. If he'd get his diabetic act better together I'd be less clingy and let him think about slowly moving out before he's 18. They are miserable, but somehow they always seem to come back, cuz we are still home.

Why is it kids with younger brothers and sisters would be better only children and only children would be better with siblings? Something all backwards about that!

I'm glad it is working out for everyone. I tell you, just getting a child to adulthood without everyone losing their minds is a winning situation.
