And yes, I have empty nest syndrome, too. I wasn’t expecting him to be quite so independent and grown up and flew away so fast. I’m just in shock it happened so fast.

I had midlife crisis so bad, and now I have this. I go through everything.

I am also worried that it is that we now know that I (his mom) has a PD, etc... and I am not capable of getting through life without destroying everything in my path. I subconsciously knew, once he became a grown man, I might start having friction with him. I never expected it from my D! He’s the sweetest natured guy.

This was the kid who cartwheeled in to the room. I miss him so much.

He knows I’ve been very sick. I wish I ‘felt the love’ from him. I feel he turned it off somehow. Is this her influence?
