[QUOTE="ckay87, post: 750509, member: 24067"] I have my own version of the same thing everyone else here is going through. Just this weekend, I sent my son out into the world on his own. He has a place (for now) but no income. His brother lives elsewhere and is agoraphobic and depressed. Anyway, I also have it coming from 2 directions. I have a BLAST with my boyfriend of 2.5 years and we move in together in 2 weeks. But every time I get happy and excited about this new chapter, I think of those boys and it brings me way down. That's just going to be the way it is and I know that. I had a moment this weekend at a wonderful outdoor party. Listening to music, laughing and dancing, then I had a moment of... panic kind of ... about the boys and their futures and I was almost paralyzed for a while there (I know that sounds dramatic, sorry). And it was actually then that it occurred to me that I'll never stop those moments from happening. Everyone has struggles, things that weigh heavy on their minds, and this is ours. We have to learn to manage ourselves, that's the best we can do, right? Sounds about like where you are as well. Talking here has helped me, keep visiting. [/QUOTE]
