[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 513350"] It's so hard. I don't claim to be any good at it. Maybe if I type it enough or read it enough-it will sink in. I think it's the epitome of what we are struggling against as mothers. It's a different type of struggle. Every bone in my body wants to scream " I did not give you permission to go on this journey and if you are determined to go on it - you are taking me with you. " It's like their first PG-13 movie - the one we hesitated about because might not be appropriate - so we sat in the back of the theater while they sat in front with their friends. The life they're leading, the knowledge that it's the right thing to detach- it goes against every grain of our motherhood. We spent 17 years & 364 days nurturing & protecting them & we're supposed to drop it on their sayso. ugh [/QUOTE]
