How did I not see detachment right in front of me?

[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 703156, member: 15032"] I agree. I can relate to what you say Lil about the son that you had died. I feel the same exact way. It's fleeting when I think of happy times when he was little and we did everything together. I'd even remember taking him bathing suit shopping with me a few times when he was little and we were going on a family vacation. I'd pick out a few that I liked best and then ask him because I KNEW he'd be honest. I think he actually liked doing that with me. I also remember driving his older brother to college and singing along with the radio and stopping for candy on the way home. Just us two. It breaks my heart to have that person no longer in my life. I remember when both stood up to a wedding. Him in his little tuxedo with his big smile. All I can hope is that someday he will be the man that I know he can be. He's had years of therapy and been in many treatments so I guess this is just something he has to figure out on his own. Detaching from other family members is one thing and I have done it too. McDonna I had not thought of that until your post. But detaching from your child is an all together different beast. [/QUOTE]
