[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 720382, member: 18516"] Yes, this is a hard truth to accept but once we do there is a freedom that comes with it. I had to grieve the loss of the life [B][U][COLOR=#ff0000]I[/COLOR][/U][/B] had dreamed for my son. It wasn't that I wanted him to be a Dr. or Banker, although he surely has the smarts for it, I had hoped that he would want to live a more conventional type of life. Get a good paying job, live in an apt. or house, pay his bills, etc... you know, be a productive part of society. My son wants no part of living a conventional type of life and I had to accept that, to let him go. I spent many nights worrying and catastrophizing every possible horrible thing that could happen to him. My worrying didn't change a thing. When I finally came to accept that yes, the very worst could happen, he could die and I may never know, was I able to truly let go. I needed to let him go so he could live his life and I could live mine. [/QUOTE]
