[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 702941, member: 1550"] Detaching from a typical child is different. You still feel close and warm and proud. Detaching from a difficult child hurts more in my opinion and experience. Our memories of them are not the same...hard to explain. I'd still feel sad if my typical kids only called me once every few months though. I hear at least once a week, usually more. Of course difficult son calls me most of all and I admit I am not always up to answering him. I wish he would find one person to talk to besides me. But that never lasts long...if he lived with me or even near me and I had no other children near, I'd probably leave the country. There is no way I could do it. I can picture trying to walk away to get peace and him following me, ranting. No. Couldnt. Re, I loved your post. It got me all pumped about my future RV travel life which will take place when 61 year old hub retires next year. I love knowing other seniors are traveling and having fun. Thanks so much for sharing. [/QUOTE]
