[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 702786, member: 19069"] TClark, I do the same exact thing, It is a roller coaster of emotions. Sad, mad, hurt, accepting then repeat. Like RN said, it's a mourning process, going through all the stages of grief over someone who's still living. I try so hard to detach and sometimes I do ok but then I just backslide. It never helps my son and it sure doesn't help me. It just goes against everything in us as mothers to detach from our own child. Try to stay busy, do something nice for yourself, just try to keep your mind off it. There's been times that I was so bad off that it almost killed me to have to go into work, I would think of calling in but then I would get there and get busy which would take my mind off things. Your son will be safe in jail, you won't have to worry about what he is out doing. I have actually wished that my son would get arrested so then I wouldn't have to worry about him overdosing or someone killing him. Sometimes binge watching a Netflix series helps me cope and of course praying is the best therapy. Sending you hugs [/QUOTE]
