[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 491684"] And you know I have to watch it... because in the letter he talked about how he is too young to be so detached from the family (true) and it is all on him (true). I want to write and say "But we can fix this, we can" which is also true BUT it depends on HIM and I cannot be there trying to give him a way out or to stop feeling guilty. As a mother I don't want him hurting but Nancy you are right that is part of the process he has to go through. So I just texted him and thanked him for the letter and said it meant a lot!!! Did not offer any solutions. But thanks for the reminder... I have to let him feel the pain.... and in fact maybe one reason he is uncomfortable sharing with us is that I do try to make him feel better (gee why do I do that?) and he just needs to feel. Anyway it was a good Christmas gift. Off to keep getting ready for our dinner tonight (this is when we have our big dinner and we are having people over). LOL I wish you all were coming too.
