I'm proud of you. <br /><br />I know tomorrow will still be a tough day for you, but I will be thinking of you, hoping and praying for only the best. <br /><br />MY mom didn't kick me out, but after graduation she said we're moving into a smaller home and there's not room for you (subtle, I know!) unless you want to share rooms with your brother and sister. I moved out, I resented her for it for a while, but looking back I realize it was the best thing for me. I was scared. I wasn't ready to be on my own, but I grew up so much that year. I actually loved being on my own. <br /><br />xoxo, MHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452076560635353634.post-36928461044956541102009-09-03T04:34:02.693-07:002009-09-03T04:34:02.693-07:00I don't know if it's the empty nest syndro...I don't know if it's the empty nest syndrome or just plain loving your son.<br /><br />I miss my daughter so much... <br /><br />I feel your pain, sweetie.<br />Hugs,<br />SueAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01768938500651028113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452076560635353634.post-87991428958314764152009-09-02T20:21:42.591-07:002009-09-02T20:21:42.591-07:00I found your site tonight because I'm searchin...I found your site tonight because I'm searching for answers, maybe. Maybe, I'm not sure what I'm looking for. On 08-16-2009 my ex-husband who I was married to for 26yrs ( our divorce was finalized last summer ) and who I had known since I was 14 was found dead from a suicide. He became addicted to Oxycontin approx. 7yrs ago after a jet-ski accident. We had it all at one time, my husband had a successful business, we owned a beautiful home, money was never a problem, we have a beautiful son who turned into a wonderful young man. Oxycontin took everything from this man and destroyed our marriage. In his suicide letter he left for our son he said that he just couldn't get over this addiction and couldn't live with it anymore. In my heart I know I couldn't have helped him but the void inside of me will never go away. I left him one day and never looked back, I couldn't. Now, I live with the " what ifs " and my son cries for his father. Praying your son never gets lost in his addiction again.

Its like the two parents balance each other out. Its hard when one half doesn't understand the other. I suffer from major guilt that my son only had the nurturing parent and did not have the other side, I think it contributed to a lot of his problems.<br /><br />I love that you and B. are so close, its beautiful. I have to admit I envy it a bit too. K can be very harsh and mean to me at times. But every now and then we relive the old days.<br /><br />I hope B does well, I will be praying. I understand how you will miss him. I also agree with the above comment - all parents have to let go sooner or later, but letting go of a child that's also an addict comes with a different set of concerns.<br /><br />Now you can hubby can run around the house in your underwear all the time ;)ADVERTISEMENTBar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452076560635353634.post-52266144471570014682009-09-02T16:51:25.152-07:002009-09-02T16:51:25.152-07:00People talk about the "empty nest" syndr...People talk about the "empty nest" syndrome, but I think it is even harder for those of us with addicted children.

I would think it would be unusual if you didn't feel the way you feel as your son moves out and begins to learn that he can lean on God. I just bet there are good years ahead for you. Years of restoration and healing. God hears your prayers and loves you and your son.Anonymous :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14866852475568786172noreply@blogger.com
