i feel horrible about it but my anxiety was so terrible i could not even go to my sons graduation from boot camp. my son did not even know i had issues really besides being an emotionally unbalanced mom. i wrote him a letter letting him know my diagnosis and how fragile i was and that there was no way i was going to be able to make it to his graduation. i was a mess at the time. we never really talked about it but he was understadning and took it well. his future wife was there so he wasnt alone

good luck in your decision.
