re: the future and our kids (my worries)

[Guest guest]

You know what's interesting.... I don't think it'd bother me one bit to just

let them develop as they will, EXCEPT that I worry about The Future! How

will my children survive? Jobs? Insurance? THAT is the biggest worry. I love

watching their fascinating creativity, the Aspie jokes are a HOOT! My biggest

fear is that they won't be able to work or have insurance. My oldest son at

nearly 20 is struggling w/this. We are hopeful that college will work again,

with supports this next time. He cannot find a job at this point (between the

economy and his own personality stuff, it's not easy). He is so smart and

capable, and works so hard when he loves what he's doing.

It was most difficult with Matt when he was in school. When I brought him home

to homeschool, he was much more compliant, kind, fun, relaxed, etc. but WOW,

school just stresses him terribly. He takes Lexapro for anxiety, but no other

meds have helped at all (and he's tried a lot!). He is now GF, and we're working

toward CF....

I feel blessed to have my 6 kids, and especially blessed that they really do get

along pretty well. I just hope they'll be okay when hubby and I are gone.... ::

sigh :: I know, borrowing trouble.
