[QUOTE="cakewalk, post: 339326, member: 7060"] I'm detaching more every day. Some days are good and strong, some days not so much. As I read the CD posts, I have to admit that I'm thankful that our lives are no longer filled with constant drama, anger, tears, and fears. However, he's my kid and I miss him terribly. He's still lying when it benefits him, which is often. He's not being responsible with college coaches and his work (they continue to call here when he doesn't return their calls). My calls to him are also not returned. Emails, few and far between, come from his account but are direct-speak from my sister's mouth to me. He is doing much better in school, which is a good thing. In two months he will be 18. In three months he will graduate from high school. I am not included or welcome in his life right now. I have no idea where he'll attend college. My sons attend the same high school and rarely speak, usually addressing each other with a "head nod" as they pass in the halls. I struggle with all of that. Each day is getting easier. The few times I hear from him it's because he needs or wants something. If it's a realistic request, I do it. If not, I say no and let it go. But, whether our conversation is good or he gets what he wants, I still hear nothing from him again until his next request or favor. It is what it is... sigh. [/QUOTE]
