- Sometimes when I think about my son being gone from our home, I feel a despair just over a changed relationship and the uncertainty of where it is headed. I also just miss my son -- he is witty, quick to say funny things, just fun to be around....
- My son moved out a year ago today. I am still saddened, hate to come home to a house without him and our dog (the dog had to be put down 3 months after son moved out). My husband is here but it just isn't the same. Honestly, my husband...
- Hi. I have not been here for awhile. I have realized that my son and I are not really estranged, just going through his separation from home, trying to establish himself and my difficulty in letting go. It still hurts to just not feel...
- Hi folks. I know my position with my son is probalby better than others. First, we do have some communication with him; however, most of it is communication which we initiate. I would like to have a 50-50 split or something similar. ...
- I know lots of you would say I should be thankful for some communication with my son. However, this past week I have sent him 4 emails and he has not responded to any of them. I just feel so dissed. My husband says that unless I asked a...
- Ladies. My son is still on our cell phone plan b/c of his graduate school, he is also still on our car insurance policy and we pay for his health insurance. After I was told an upgrade was available on our cell phone plan, I noticed that...
- Because I don't hear from my son I sometimes feel like I am losing my mind. I read some articles the other day from one lady whose children had just moved out, she wasn't necessarily estranged, but she said that for her it was just the loss of...
- Ladies, I'm wondering if you have told your estranged child that you were praying for them. If so, what was their reaction? It is too late for me b/c I sent my son a text tonight that just simply said "praying for you. goodnight." I am...
- Ladies:I have to say in reading everyone's posts, I so admire your strength and faith in dealing with our children who have chosen to remove themselves from our lives. You are an inspiration to me as I face the disappointment of the developing...
- Quick summary -- my son moved out unexpectedly about 3 months ago. I was feeling lost. Luckily our chocolate lab was here and she became my snuggle bunny, lap dog, just my friend. Then last Sunday she wouldn't eat, vomited and was terribly...
- Just had lunch with my son which was a good thing. But conversations cam3 up that showed he was in our neighborhood (just 5 to 10 minutes away) for dinner this past week and went to a friends house to watch a football game and never came by to...
- HI Ladies: In looking on my computer the other day I came across these prayers that I used when my son was younger. I now find that they are even more appropriate today. I hope there will be enough room for me to post all of them for each...
- Hi everyone. I started a post the other night and for some reason it got deleted. I'll try to quickly outline my situation.Son went to college, always lived at home and seemed happy with that. Most of his friends lived alone.9 months ago he...
- My son had always lived at home while he was in college. Always said there was no need to pay for dorm expenses, etc. when he only lived 10 minutes away from school. I think it was also easy b/c most of his friends still lived at home. He...
