[QUOTE="Fran, post: 490292, member: 3"] slsh, I will always think of Wee as the little brother but he is on the cusp of adulthood. My easy child is a man who goes his own way so I understand your worry. easy child left the day after high school graduation and has never spent more than 2 weeks a year at home in almost 5 yrs. Fortunately, he is loving and responsible. Works a lot and goes to school. He will graduate in May. Although he didn't do it [I]my way, [/I]he is a good young man who will always have his own mind. He never went for peer pressure in any way. I am grateful that he has a mind of his own and doesn't just give in to my strong suggestions. LOL. I do feel very old and a little lost with nothing pressing for my attention. difficult child is still not 100% independent but I keep my distance. I'm still working on creating the next chapter in my life. We still have much to give and hopefully mom's without children at home are not throw aways. We can contribute and have meaningful lives. I know what you mean about being a little out of sorts. Good luck to Wee. Being different and socially awkward is sort of a prerequisite to MIT isn't it? Good luck to him. [/QUOTE]
