[QUOTE="Suz, post: 32404, member: 29"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Since its been many years since I was alone, I just dont know what to do with myself. I've lived the last 20 years for my son. </div></div> Hi, and welcome! I think the level of parental involvement our difficult children require when they are kids can make it even more difficult to "move on" when they grow up. Our identities are fully involved, too- who are we if we aren't "difficult child's Mom", if you know what I mean. You need some time to grieve and to adjust to your new life. Your son is grown. You've done what you could and now it's his turn to take over his life. It's time for you to read that book you always wanted to read. Make new friends. Go on a great vacation. Find the love of your life. It's time for YOU. I'm glad you found us. Suz [/QUOTE]
