[QUOTE="Chasejazz, post: 750175, member: 24130"] Thanks for the reply, Tanya. Especially for breaking down the different issues. First off, since I wrote this out yesterday, a huge weight has been lifted. Not all of it, but at least I publicly admitted this issue with my kids. People ask me how they're doing and I just say "great" and leave it at that. Hardest at holidays, Mother's Day, etc. I will have to read these again...maybe several times, just to real-ize them. I have a tendency to want intellectualize things, because it's easier than feeling them. You said you have a 37 year old son who is homeless-wandering, but you seem to have done a lot of work in dealing with it. I'm not quite there yet. Trying. OB texted today, speak of the devil. Angry... his car's broken down. Says he'll "be gone soon", once he fixes his car. Not sure what that means. It was all just text rambling. Lots of cursing.... I put my phone down and went to finish painting my bathroom, to be busy and get my mind off of him. I didn't text back. I know a fight when I see one. After two+ months on the streets, he's still hostile. Raving and ranting. I will read those responses. Feel what they mean. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
