Just wondering, are you keeping in touch with your son, by email or skype? Can he come to visit you in Florida? Teens generally aren't particulary good at reaching out or making efforts. Atleast I wasn't, as soon as I could, I found the furthest away university on the other side of the country and never moved closer than 3,000 miles, now I'm even further! But, I just wanted my own life I guess and I felt like she had moved on with hers (she remarried as well when I was 18). Also, I was sent away to a lock-in treatment center for a year when I was 14 andI think I was still really bitter and angry about that. But, since we have had some great chats and she has opened up to me about her life and told me details and now I've realized that she's a real person and I can talk to her and I am even considering moving closer to her. I know other mothers too who have given up their children to live with friends and family members for various reasons and it just takes time..My advice is just to keep the lines of communication open and let him know you're there and he is loved and don't forget to take care of yourself mama!
