[QUOTE="Chasejazz, post: 751420, member: 24130"] Julee, I was a teenage mother also...18 when my son was born. I did everything I knew to be a good mother, but who knows? I think my son resents me because I wasn't "prefect". But then again, who is? My son is 40, and like yours has needed constant help all his life. His father was not in the picture, so I was both Mom and Dad to a certain extent. (Too much for anyone). But anyway, he is now been living out on the streets/in his car since May. There's no relationship there, good or bad, and like you I mourn the loss of my son, too. It's sad to have to withdraw, as you said. My son and I had quite a bond, me being such a young mother. I thought we would always be close. I am sorry that you're sad. I can feel your heart is broken. Also, I wish I had some wisdom to give you but unfortunately I am just making it day by day. Finding this forum helped to realize I am not alone. I do feel that I did the best I could at the time with what I had to work with. It was a struggle, that conclusion- but I actually believe it now. I hope you find some peace, just on this day. Leave tomorrow to itself. And as you move forward, always remember the love you shared with your son was very real. Very special.
