[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 626021, member: 17269"] Black gnat, I want you to know..it isn't sad. It is like that for me as well. It is NOT that I think of him as dead...it is that sometimes I feel a ground swell of sadness, as I do when I miss my mom, or my dad. They are gone, and that is as is must be. I have detached from my son, and that is as it must be. YOu know what? I've detached from my easy child daughter as well...I don't hover, fix, advise, quesiton, criticize, guide. Her life is hers to live. His (difficult child's) is his to live. It is as it must be. Truly he is better for it. I am better for it. WE as a mother/son are better for it. My other kids, my job, my lover, even my ex are better for it. It isn't sad..no where near as god-awful sad as the old days. I promise. Echo [/QUOTE]
