[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 667539, member: 18516"] Welcome Niddum, I am so sorry for what you are going through. I am glad you found us here, you will find support and understanding. It was very brave of you to tell your son that he had to go. I know how hard it is to do that. Please don't feel guilty. There is no such thing as a perfect parent. We ALL make mistakes and can look back at our parenting and think I should have done this or that differently. We cannot go back, we cannot change what has already happened. All we can do is move forward. If you loved your children, fed them, clothed them, taught them right from wrong, comforted them when they were scared or sick, etc... then you have done all you can and that is enough. Your son has made his own choices, you have no control over him. The consequences of his actions are his alone. Mothers guilt is so common and is also so damaging. We want to swoop in and take care of everything but that doesn't help, it actually harms. It's okay to let go, it's okay to tell him he has to figure it out for himself. You will get through this. You are here with us now and you are not alone. ((HUGS)) to you........................ [/QUOTE]
