Hi,
I am 44 and a single parent. My son is 19 and at University.He stays with me four nights a week and at his dad's 3 nights, butt he often calls during the day to see me as I am ill and disabled. I am a trained counsellor but cannot work due to ill health and disabilities.
I am so upset and crying because my son is going in digs in January and I am so upset. I'm missing him already and don't know how to cope.I don't mind being on my own because I am quite a loner, but this is breaking my heart.I don't want to turn into a mum that's constantly phoning him, etc. I'm looking for likewise people on here or just people who can give me support and advice.
