[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 720163, member: 18516"] I've been at this a long time! My son is 35 currently in prison for 2 years. What I can tell you is that is does get better with time. It's not easy and it can feel so unnatural as mothers to separate ourselves but it's the only way we can survive this. If you haven't printed out the article on detachment I suggest you do. It speaks the truths that we need to help us navigate through it. I will always have some hope that my son will someday stop living such a reckless lifestyle but that's up to him, not me. Until that time..... I will continue to live MY life as best I can. I'm half way through this race of life and not getting any younger. I will find joy in my days by doing things that make me happy. I will not be a slave to the "mommy guilts" as they serve no purpose. My son's life matters but so does mine, so does yours and all the other moms and dads here on this site. LBL, you too will get through this. :staystrong::notalone: [/QUOTE]
