[QUOTE="Roxanne@74, post: 764721, member: 32965"] Thank you so much for your support, Nomad. Reading other's stories make me realize that my problem is really not a problem at all, so a little embarrassed to complain about it. Sorry for the long story, which I never told anyone. After son left, the words started pouring out of my very soul. I felt guilty kicking my own child out on the streets in the middle of the Colorado winter, but you are absolutely right, I have given him everything and more up to this point - all he needs to do is to spread his wings and fly. Funny birds push their young out of the nest to encourage them to figure out how to fly on their own. Last year was extraordinarily tough even for a tough bird like me - my 84 y.o. mom who is at the end of life has turned for the worse and I, as a sole care taker was feeling little tired of life bouncing between doctors trying to figure our her opioids dosage and multiple pharmacies, grocery stores, etc. Somehow I expected things to lighten up when son came back from training. He wants to commission, so I hope and pray he sticks to his guns and enters ROTC this year. My 2 adult step-daugters from previous marriage and son's big step sisters are keeping an eye on their little brother staying in touch with him (warms my heart) and telling me not to worry. They say he needs to grow up BIG TIME! [/QUOTE]
