[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743986, member: 23371"] Well not sure I agree that its because he's yours and she wasn't. I hear what you're saying. But I think the point of detaching is to let him have his own life while you have yours. My sons are my sons and I love them as such. But that doesn't mean that I am consumed by thinking about them. Yes, I think about them daily. But not hourly like I do about the autistic son who lives with me. Maybe once a day is enough when they have their own lives? I don't know if there's a right number. If he were 50 how often would you think about him? How often do you think about your sibs who you love? Your older kids? Grandkids? Detaching is a process and your son is young and in trouble. Presumably if he were in Harvard studying medicine at 21 you wouldn't be thinking about him quite as much? Just trying to get you to think about detaching. [/QUOTE]
