[QUOTE="Snow White, post: 699859, member: 355"] Hang in there, RN. Good for you to see the therapist. Our Difficult Child has been "roaming" for over 2 years now. At first, I would always try to find out where she was - names of the hostels or friends - track her movements. Although I worry constantly about the bad things (getting pulled into a prostitution ring, doing bad/fatal drugs, etc.), those don't turn out to be the issues that are really worrisome. She gets into physical fights, abuses drugs/alcohol, etc. She wants to live her own life. I'm trying to let her do that. As of right now, I don't know what city/country she is in. Lately, every time I catch myself trying to control situations or have major feelings of guilt, I take a couple of really deep breaths and reflect on the world has not come to an end because I am letting go. Your son will manage, as will my daughter. They will continue to make their choices, as will we. We need to accept this. The group is here for you, if you feel you are wavering or just need a hug.
