[QUOTE="strangeworld, post: 735461, member: 22313"] I appreciate your apology SWOT. Perhaps I am also just an emotional wreck right now and take everything harshly so I'm sorry if I overreacted. I didn't mean to sound like I am not happy for my son. Just realizing how much I don't have going on in my life to focus on as he needs me less and less. It's something I need to work on. For me, probably the time in my life when I felt the most whole and grounded is when they were little. Not just because they needed me and it made me feel useful and loved but because of the honesty in our relationship. The realness in affection and thoughts. Maybe I never really grew up and it felt good to be in the safe zone where I could let simple things of childhood be my world again. Realizing how much I've given to motherhood and in turn neglected my other areas that I now need to rely on more and more. And it's going to be a lot of work mentally finding those things that fill me up so I'm not a drag on my kids. It's a bit dismal at the moment. Also realizing maybe I expect too much from myself and everyone else. We are only human. Anyway I'm sorry I overreacted. Thanks for clarifying your points as well. [/QUOTE]
