[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 657218, member: 18284"] Tanya -- First, I send you a warm virtual hug. Thinking of you and "feeling" your heart. To answer your question....... Twice we have gone 6 months without hearing from our son (up until about a month ago was the last one). He frequently disappears for 2-3 months. Those times in-between are so hard on all of us moms. We love them. We worry about them. Still, I am so glad to hear you find times (all in all) of peace. What often helps us on our rollercoaster (the ups and downs) is reminding ourselves (out loud) that when our son is AWOL, he usually returns at some point (at least for a time). And then, equally important for us, is to remind ourselves (out loud) that when he is present and "somewhat stable", he usually returns to AWOL at some point (at least for a time). Somehow, my mind finds comfort in knowing there's usually a balance. That to his every yin, there's usually a yang. Tanya, you are so wise, kind, and insightful. You really are. You express yourself so well. I greatly respect your combo of strength and sensitivity. And then the ability to put it into words. I haven't met you (in person). But what I hear in this forum tells me of how you most likely possess another wonderful combo...........gentle, yet strong in resilience. I send supportive prayers and vibes your way! PS -- I just read Cedar's words to you.............I think she said it much better than I did! No doubt you are greatly loved (despite whatever difficulties your son has at times)! [/QUOTE]
