[QUOTE="KFld, post: 39180, member: 2442"] What you are feeling is normal. You should talk to camom. She posts most of her stuff in pe or substance abuse. You have learned to live a normal life that isn't full of the day to day difficult child goings on. It's called peace and quiet. Many of us have difficult child's who are in Residential Treatment Center (RTC), or have had to leave our homes due to drug abuse, etc. and we all went through what you did when your son first left. You don't know how you will ever survive them not living with you, being so far away, yada yada yada, then once you get used to it, you don't now how you'll ever survive them being in your home again. Congratulations!! You learned how to detatch. Set the rules for when he comes to visit and let him know that if he doesn't follow them, he won't be able to visit anymore. He is only going on 18, so he needs sometime to mature. My son just turned 20 and hasn't lived home in almost 2 years. I used to dread him coming to visit and he tried to push the rules when he did, but he soon realized it didn't work with us anymore. He has matured a lot and now his visits are actually pleasant.
