[QUOTE="Night Owl Mama, post: 692872, member: 20490"] Thank you for that validation. I too hope he knows that I have always wanted nothing more than for him to succeed and be well. I miss him today. I really do. It's strange but he had become a good friend the last few years. An very unstable friend yes, but a pretty constant presence and he was generally fun and helpful, except when he wasn't. That probably only makes sense to someone who has lived this right? I remember missing my ex though in a similar way but of course none of the good was ever worth the price of living in fear of another blowup. I need to find a way to remember my son's positive qualities without letting my guard down. I feel myself start to do that so I grab back onto the anger as a shield...I have always been such an optimistic, benefit of the doubt type of person. It's hard to find my footing. I am guessing that is pretty normal? And yes, first time ever I have been somewhat thankful my kids are sick and I have a good excuse to sit around not doing much haha. Other than laundry that is. Bleh. [/QUOTE]
