[QUOTE="SeaGenieTx, post: 674723, member: 18773"] Took me a full year to get to the point I'm at now where I worry maybe just a couple of times during the day, then go on about my life. I know I was a wonderful mother to my son. I instilled values and morals, was always there for him. I was a single mom his entire life (had two relationships but chose not to stay because I put my son first and these men didn't like that). All we do for our children and this is what we get in return. It is what it is. We must detach - let go and let them live their lives and face the consequences of the choices they make without interfering. It's hard - I have no other family than my son and now I've lost him to drugs. But I'm used to loss and refuse to curl up in a ball and die because everyone has left me or done me wrong. Time for me to live my life. I love my son with all my heart but he could care less about his mama right now and rather wallow in worry and misery, I have to focus on ME. Hang in there - I really want you to know you will be able to deal with this if you just read everything that we all have gone thru and see what has worked, what hasn't. If you make mistakes and contact your son or travel out to see him - that's ok. Come back here when you need the support ok? Keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
