Thank you Rebelson, I will check that video out
Albatross, Thanks for the help with quotes. It turns out I don't have EOA. The "insert quotes" button wasn't there when I was working with the draft. I was seriously worried for my mental state. lol
RN0441 - Glad I'm not the only one. By that same token, Difficult Child has done things that I am quite sure I would never tell anyone. Yeah, that bad.
Wow, me too! I worry excessively anyway, but the weather and ambulances take it to the next level for sure.
I literally think about him every waking moment. I used to think that this was abnormal until I read an article called
Mothers' everyday experiences of having an adult child who suffers from long-term mental illness. It states:

Sigh
Tanya, no, my mother died in 2009. I was her caretaker for the last 9 months of her life. She died from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) from smoking 3 packs of ciggs a day for 40 years. She never did quit smoking. I took good care of her and sacrificed some things to do so. Doing this alleviated some of my guilt.
Yes. Most certainly. I am emotionally dependent how he is doing as well as how he feels towards me. This really has to change completely because although he loves me, I do think it is a good possibility that he may go through a period, possibly forever, where he rejects me and doesn't speak to me at all.
Thank you to everyone for the replies.
