[QUOTE="cakewalk, post: 261874, member: 7060"] Thanks to all of you. I read every post in General and Parent Emeritus every day and wonder how all of you managed as long as you have! Most of you have been through much, much worse. My problems with my son pale in comparison. I got through his big day. I remembered the last awful year and the (at least!) thirty times in the last year thinking to myself, "when you're seventeen and you verbally attack me, destroy my house, then walk, I can lock that door behind you!" I walked through my house and looked at every wall, every door, every destruction and the memories were so vivid. The words painful to re-live. I then listened to the silence, weighed the two, and realized that we've actually got the better end of the deal right now! I miss him, but I don't miss the last year. I miss who I know he can be. I can't thank all of you enough for your kind (and wise!) words of support and advice. [/QUOTE]
