[QUOTE="gardengirl1958, post: 676324, member: 19929"] Going North, thank you so much for sharing your story with me. Your processes right now are very familiar to me. I can very much relate because of what has happened to all of us at different times and how we do and don't process it. I'm so very sorry for your loss! That is incredibly hard to lose someone so close, especially for people like us who have to work so hard to build relationships. For us, it seems that taking the time to grieve is actually the healthiest step. Avoiding it just causes more problems later. Just last night my son told me that he gets angry when he's fearful. So i asked what he was afraid of and his list went on for give minutes and it was not an exhaustive list. I remembered being 21 and really could relate to what he was saying. Everything feels out of control and he's always waiting for the next terrible thing to happen. Dealing with the fear was that people were coming to our house for New Year's Eve. This is why he was acting out on me. He said he was fearful of someone coming into his personal space. He felt threatened. My husband voiced up and said he felt the same way.
