- Hi everyone. I have not been here for awhile. I moved over to the empty nest group. My son moved out of our home now a liittle over 2 years ago. We began seeing him more, had a regular night to go out to dinner, he came...
- Hi folks. I hve not been here in a while even though I can't say things have been great with my son. He moved out two years ago, didn't contact us much but then I somewhat felt things were better -- we went out to dinner once a week...
- I became extremely depressed 1-1/2 years ago when my son moved out. It was very sudden for me. It's not that he wasn't old enough, etc. but he had never talked about it and he and his father did not tell me of his plans. It was supposedly so...
- Fellow members:This past week I was talking with a co-worker about my unhappiness with my relationship with my son. I guess it is pretty good (better than some but not what I totally want) and perhaps my son does feel that things are ok. ...
- Two weeks ago our son suggested that we smoke some cheese and bacon. We bought all of the ingredients but because he lives away from home my husband and I were left with all of the prep work and monitoring it every night for 12 days. then...
- My son had to work today. It was the type of situation where he was there in case something went wrong. The people he was there for were three floors away from him, as far as I know he was by himself. So, after he had been there for about...
- I am so disappointed and dismayed by men. After now dealing with my son's lack of contact with me or my husband, I now look at my husband's relationship wtih his Mother and see exactly the same things. He moved 750 miles away from her to go...
- My son called his apartment "home" tonight. One he shares with two college roommates. Just didn't expect to hear that and it just hurt. I guess I didn't expect to hear that until he was married. Had hoped until he was married that his....
- About 4 days ago I sent my son an email about plans for the holidays.. I did this on the advice of a friend who said it would help manage my expectations. I told my son we would love for him to come home tonight for dinner, help us prepare...
- Yesterday there was nothing wrong with my relatonship with my son. We had talked a little, he responded to some texts that I sent to him. But when I started home from work my heart just ached. I realize that I just miss him greatly and it...
- Last night I texted my son with a picture of my new car which we had picked up. He replied and I asked him if he had seen his high school football team's score from the night's game. He said no, so I told him what it was. He replied and...
- I am going to be getting a new vehicle tonight but I am not really excited. Instead I find myself crying. The reasons why: it is an 11 year old vehicle and while it holds some bad memories, most of them are good. It is the vehicle I...
- Last night and tonight I texted my son about a couple of topics. Last night he responded twice, tonight once. Just leaves me hanging. I hate that!!!! I wish he would just say he needs to do something else but to not respond seems rude. ...
- I find myself having good days and then bad days. Two weeks ago today we went to see War Room. While it is a movie about a failing marriage, it struck my life that we are all fight against the Devil and the feelings and perceptions he puts...
- I find myself trying to think of things to talk about with my son now that he no longer lives at home. I don't want to say things that seems intrusive, I want to say things that will impress him and not make him think I am stupid. My husband...
