[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 71064, member: 1835"] Thanks, EV. I had a feeling backing off was the ticket. I actually feel mostly okay with him being gone alot because, as you said, I did learn how to detach somewhat while he was gone. And, at 18, he SHOULD be thinking about heading out anyway, so I'm going to have to cut the apron strings someday. I'm really more content when I don't ask him questions about what he's doing or whom he's with because, when I do, I can almost feel myself edging towards getting emotionally caught up in what he is doing or what I'm IMAGINING he might be doing when there's nothing I can do about his choices anymore anyhow.
