[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 375065, member: 65"] For me, it's been a year since difficult child-S left. I think I'm finally now, getting to the point where I can distance myself and start the healing process. With difficult child-A, he's been gone since 15. He comes around every once in a while. He says he loves me and give me a hug, but only if I keep my mouth shut about [B][U]everything[/U][/B] in his life. So it's a very distant relationship. Time, and a LOT of it, is the only thing that helps. And it really doesn't heal the pain. The scar just gets thick enough that the pain isn't as intense. The heart is still broken. But you learn how to live with a broken heart. And you accept that you did do everything in your power to help them, but they are not puppets. You can't control them or live their lives for them. You have to let them go. Love them. Care about them. Pray for them. But you can't live for them. And I hope that someday the planets will align in just the right way and my kids will be my kids once again. Sorry you are going through all of this. {{{{HUGS}}}} [/QUOTE]
