[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 69386, member: 1514"] One thing that I have found quite interesting. Now maybe it is because my middle son has not given me quite the same amount of trouble as Cory...or maybe it is because he lives 5 hours away from me, but I can distance myself from him quite well in what I consider a completely healthy manner. If he is entering the hospital for some major test...I worry from home, if has a baby...Im there with bells on! Jamie was no angel when he was in the Marines. They are hard drinking guys and I know he did his fair share of partying. I have the pictures. Heck...I went to one of the parties at his apartment! I never sat at home and worried myself silly over what was going on with him because it was his life, he knew the risks, for most of his time in the Marines he was underage to drink anyway, he was a MP to boot, and if he got caught, bust or anything else...it wasnt my rearend on the line...it was his. Obviously he was smart enough to always CYA and they got each other home in one piece. I also tended not to worry as much about Cory when he was out of town because he was out of sight, out of mind. Its far easier I think. [/QUOTE]
