Its not the emptyness I am afraid of. I am afraid I cant protect my Child anymore. Thats a Special Kind of grief

E,HLT79/33 :

my son is 23 and I can't wait for him to move out. Not because I want him to go but because I can see how much he wants to buy his own house. He works really hard, he saves a lot of his wages and works overtime. He has grown into an absolutely fantastic man and I'm so proud of him. Everything he has and done, he has paid for it himself. He's kind, loving and respectful but I can tell he's itching to go. I'll miss him so much when he does go but I'll also be more than proud because he's done it himself, he's saved and worked for it.

The goal is not for them to not need me… the goal is for them to not need me, but still want me. Want me in their life every day in a small way, want me to be there on the hard days but also the good. THATS the goal.

CalamityKel :

Bitchenbecky56 :

Exactly where I am in my life you made me cry

Flour & Heart :

I’m a old man who looked after his parents and lived with them and did all I can to help them until they passed and now I sit in a empty home that’s so quiet that it’s devastating.its the opposite for me I guess.
