[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 458127, member: 1514"] I agree with ddd somewhat on the fact that it is okay to show the kids that it is normal to miss someone when they are gone no matter what the reason is. My kids have left home for various reasons. My oldest left when he was in 7th grade to go live with my mother because he was being bullied in our local school. The other boys...and Tony and I...were very sad and missed him terribly. Cory was in and out of therapeutic settings during most of his teen years. The kids understood and we talked about it. When Jamie left for the Marines...well...there wasnt a dry eye in our house for months. But by doing all this talking over the years, my boys understand just about everything. My son that went into the Marines is now working with the sheriffs department and he understands mental illness so well that he can handle issues that come up in that job better than most people.
