[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 698488, member: 19887"] I am so so sorry for your pain. As I read your post I too could picture my sweet young son, and felt that familiar lump in my throat. This week I've been doing a lot of that... I was at the boys elementary school on Tuesday for teacher meetings, and j hadn't been there since youngest left grade five. I glanced over at the wall if the gym I was sitting in and could picture my young boys lined up for Christmas concerts, grade five graduation.... It should have only been nostalgic, but I think to us moms who have children with addiction, it's actually physically painful. Instead if fondness for the memories, we feel hurt and pain. Our youngest moves out today... I've been awake since four am, not sure what I am feeling. Very sad yet some relief? Maybe I was never cut out for this... I certainly didn't picture this as the ending of my mothering days.... I am trying to make a new beginning with my husband, who is a good person who brings me comfort and support. I hope for some peace for you too.... I know it's not always possible, maybe being resigned to this is a better goal? Because how can we ever feel true peace when our children are in pain? I don't know if I can... Take care [/QUOTE]
