[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 697437, member: 19887"] I'm sitting at the airport waiting to board a flight to my sisters. It was the last time I was visiting that I posted my first post in this board. It was Xmas time and I just found out son was dealing. I was so devestated I couldn't stop crying even in the airport. The memory of that week is seared in my brain forever, the pain, the shame, the fear.... How different this time. I'm not staying his situation is all that much better, but mine is. He no longer lives with us, we have taken the car, and are giving no financial support or tuition. I think our relationship has actually slightly improved. I feel more sane most days. I still feel sad and ashamed but it isn't crippling. I am trying so hard to be me, and not just his mom. When I get home in ten days younger son will have moved out too, for university. It will be just my husband and I. Will it be lonely? I hope not, I hope this is our time to connect and be good to each other, we sure do deserve it. [/QUOTE]
