[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 648556, member: 18516"] It takes time. It's easier for me because I have been dealing with this for years. I will occasionally look at his FB page and I never learn anything new, it's always just more of the same. You will never stop "worrying" about him but you will get to a point that it does not consume your thoughts. You will get to a place of acceptance but to get there you have to detach. You just have to keep reminding yourself that he's an adult, you have no control over him. When you feel a panic attack coming on close your eyes and focus on your breathing, slow deep breaths, it really does help. You will hear from him again I have no doubt but prepare yourself as it most likely will not be a phone call to say "Hi Mom, I've been thinking about you and want to know how you're doing" more like "Hi Mom, I'm in trouble and need money" I only hear from my son when he wants something. I don't remember the last time he expressed any concern for me or my husband. Yes, it is your time now. You have every right to focus on your life.
