[QUOTE="Beta, post: 751636, member: 22597"] This is comforting to me to hear this, to hear what we are currently doing, having to do, in this way. . Copa, can you elaborate on this? I'm not sure I understand? Wise--I know what you mean. I still go back and forth into a sense of shock; it feels surreal at times. Yes, I agree. This is the normal "letting go" that, while hard for most loving parents, eventually works itself out to a loving, adult-to-adult relationship that replaces the adult-to-child relationship you previously had. We have a good relationship with our youngest son, who also lives in another state. I try very hard to keep healthy boundaries with him so he never feels that he's being treated as a child or jeopardizes our relationship with him. [/QUOTE]
