[QUOTE="momjane, post: 626973, member: 17981"] Hi All lovely warrior parents! Today is a surreal day. I believe difficult child is staying with his uncle and today as I was driving home I experienced emotions I never thought I would! I always thought that once he left I would be in party mode..no looking back..phew! However I don't feel that today. I don't want him to leave, to struggle to try to make ends meet. I just want him to respect me, our house an appreciate the life he has here! I sent him a text today saying hi and I love him. I don't know if that was right..it feels right to let him know that I love him. I know I have enabled him and hovered over him to the point where he feels that I am not letting him grow. I know I need to change as well. I am hoping that this time will give both of us perspective. I guess my question is..does it make me weak to want my difficult child home but under different circumstances? I would like him to go to college as planned and to focus on getting his education. He has been going to work. He has had a job for two years. It makes me glad to know that he is being responsible with that. I am happy on one hand for peace but sad that he is not here. I feel like such a hypocrite. [/QUOTE]
