[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 110614, member: 3647"] DDD beat me to it. Single parents with one child (especially same sex) sometimes attach a little too much. Not all do, and not only that mixture, but it's a pretty common thing. My daughter (who is 7) and I are a bit too co-dependent on eachother. From your first post I thought that you & your son were a bit too co-dependent as well. The concerning thing is that he is almost 15 and things should be pulling the opposite way. No matter how you slice it, you want him back because you miss him. Well, you need to let go. Find some activities to keep yourself busy while your son is getting well. For so many years, your boy was your life. That is the sign of a good parent, and I applaud you (while standing) for that. But, he is coming of age. Time to start letting go and letting him be him. More importantly, find some stuff for you to do that you enjoy. Without him. You need to fill that time and that void. If you don't start now, you will be singing the blues when he is 25 and married and does not call you every day or every week. Hang in there David! You are doing great! [/QUOTE]
