Does it get better?

SS is 8 and I keep thinking that in 10 years he will be out of the house, independent and happy. Am I delusional? Does it ever get better?

No, the level of suck just slowly increases until you blow a gasket. I've been in it 10 years and we still have our issues. Last skid is 18 in June. I'll have to let you know....

I finally blew on Christmas and told his ex, indirectly on facebook that she is a money grubbing whore. It felt so good. Yay me.

LOL! I wish I could do that!!! My fingers were itching to send an email saying those things, but I didn't.

The situation doesn't change, the dynamics do.
You learn to either tolerate their crap and live with it, or you stand up and make your position known - if you decide to stand up you have to remeber to keep backing up your decision, because if you don't it will be right back to what it was previously.
Grandskids can make it better, but in many instances it makes it significantly worse. The spawns can be used to dig the knife in even farther, thusly making the hurt go a little deeper.

Good luck to you and remember you aren't alone
