- I was grocery shopping this morning and my ES who is 18 approached me in the checkout aisle, saying that he saw me and couldn't just leave without saying hello. We have not spoken at all since Thanksgiving and have been estranged since he left our...
- I sent a simple (albeit large and full) "care package" to my estranged 18 year old son a few days ago who is at college. Nothing major, just a bunch of junk food, a "kit" of first aid stuff (cold remedy, cough drops, tums, migraine medicine) and a...
