[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 753066, member: 18958"] Dear Penny I'm sorry you feel sad today. I think you are brave to make such a big change in employment and living situation. It can feel scary to risk things getting better. I know. Sometimes it feels safer to stay in a rut. To hope is to risk. I raised my son alone, too. And I am much older than you and never married. I wanted to marry but I was afraid. As old as I am, I have hope. By making these changes you are making room for life to enter. There has to be space, for the new to arrive. Sometimes we've got to mix it up. As far as your son. He is still very young. Over and over I have seen young men change around age 30. And lo and behold, the research shows that many men do not begin to mature until late twenties. I wish, though, that you could insulate yourself more from your son's meanness to you. I am so glad for you and for your grandson that you have a good relationship with the Mom. He sounds absolutely adorable. I am glad you posted. [/QUOTE]
