[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 752495, member: 22877"] Do you have other children? A spouse or partner? A hobby or passion? Anything that can distract you and help fill the void? I completely understand about that void. I know my husband makes it so much easier for me to shift the focus away from my son and onto him/us. But my son made it a bit easier with his latest shenanigans. I drifted in and out of the various stages of grief...shock, denial, sorrow, anger...and lost many hours of sleep tossing and turning. When I finally had had enough and knew I couldn't keep living like that, I simply asked God to lift the burden off of me and let Him take control. And regardless of whether you believe in the Christian God, most people believe in a Higher Power so this concept is not unique to Christians. I hope you will find a way to relinquish the hurt and worry that controls and drives us crazy and that you can find better uses for your emotions and thoughts. Praying for peace for you and for everyone here struggling with their adult children. [/QUOTE]
