[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 752147, member: 18958"] Dear Iam. Welcome. Many of us feel like you do. I was a single mom too. I am laying here in bed with my two cats. My small dog is nearby. My son (almost 31) is living nearby, but it is a struggle every single day. He has some of the same issues as does your own son. There is NOTHING that makes this easy. I had a very hard day today. I wonder too about my life and my life choices. I feel alone too. I think many of us filled emptiness inside with our children. I know I did. It is not a child's role to fill a mother's life and give it meaning, although this works for a while, until they grow up. There's something called the "empty nest" syndrome. I think that's what we are dealing with as much as anything else. Mother's of well-adjusted children experience it too, when all of a sudden their children are gone. And they have to make a life. I think you did the right thing asking him to leave, if he was blaming you and not respecting your home. I hope you keep posting. I would like to be your friend. [/QUOTE]
