[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 664431, member: 17635"] Okie, This is part of the really rough time. Trust that he will make it through this time because you know, he most assuredly will. Our thoughts often go to the worst. My youngest son (not a Difficult Child) told me about a cartoon he read about when parents don't hear from our kids. Mom: Kid is tied up, in a locked car trunk Dad: Kid is in a hot tub, with booze and several women As moms, at least for many of us, we just seem to think the worst. I see it on this board often and hear it from friends. He knows you are put out with him, just as he knows you love him and he loves you. At some level, he does know these things. Our Difficult Child's have memories, too. A couple weeks ago, Difficult Child texted that he remembers laughter and me reading books to him. Sure, the point of the text was to manipulate me to respond so he could start asking for money. But, still, he DOES remember and your son does, too. Can you do something calming this evening? Hot tea and a good book? I am going with cold beer and the laptop, but I understand that combination is not for everybody. Hugs, SS [/QUOTE]
