[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 626427, member: 12856"] Tethered- It is the perfect word to describe this season of my life. I am a 60 year old woman who is ready to move onto a life free to travel, find love, experience new things before the aging process starts limiting my physical ability to do so. I am tethered by fear. The fear that I will be in emotional bondage to my 17 year old long past the time the natural separation of us and them takes place. That time when you know that they have the skills to do for themselves and deal with life good or bad. I saw that day coming with my other two children. It is a bitter sweet time of life. I just don't see even a spark of it with F. His separation into adulthood will feel more like the removal of a bad tooth ........ painful but necessary. [/QUOTE]
