muncie,
Yes, I am a mom! I have 3 grown sons who I am very proud of. They are my one great accomplishment! Two of them live about 4 hours away from us and my baby (who is almost 26) lives in another state. I haven't seen him in a year.
I know that part of the reason these issues have surfaced (they have been there, somewhat hidden, for a LONG time) is that I feel like my 'job' (mom) has ended. Knowing it doesn't make it any easier.

Thanks for your kind comments.
