Joanie- I don’t think it’s selfish at all to want to have a life of your own. It must be hard to have him with you even though he’s good. We should be done parenting and enjoying life after our raising of our kids is done. I think if anyone told us when we become mothers that we’d be parenting forever, we’d think twice.
Bump- I’m sorry to hear that you had some issues with your son. It’s so much harder with their addiction when it’s right in your face- exhausting. I’m glad you had a good Christmas Day too.
I’m glad that most of you seemed to have a good day. My son was good too. I saw him earlier in the week and we had a nice lunch. And he was good yesterday. We talked on the phone. He’s in a positive state of wanting to put this year behind him, which unfortunately, I’ve heard so many times. I’m sure he really believes it and then something happens. I just encouraged him.
It was nice to not have a Christmas where I went to bed and cried privately.
Love to all. ♥️
