DramaMama42, you sound like a wonderful, loving parent dealing with a difficult disease. I haven't been on this forum for a while but long story short, I have 1 son (32) who dated a girl (36) for 4 years. They lived with us for almost 2 years. She is bi-polar and I have learned a lot about...

I'm back!! It really blows my mind that there are so many of us going through this! My son and his GF had gotten back together and moved in together. Now he has moved out to his own place and is "seeing" someone else. His ex has some mental illness (bipolar) and I know she was very hard to...

Update on my son! Everything seems great for 3 months. I am just starting to let my guard down and let her into my life again. They are living together. I spent yesterday with her at a demonstration. Last night at 1230a I get a call from her to come pick my son up. She caught him texting a...

Even though my son is back with his girlfriend, I still find myself anxious at times. I stopped therapy but am still on the antidepressant. I will say that during the breakup, I did text her maybe once a week or so with this message "Thinking of you. XXOO". Most of my family would have not...

Catsndogs and Cherylluz, I totally understand how you feel. I am on the other side of it now after 6 months, therapy and an antidepressant. I have always been a totally independent rational working professional but this shook me to my core. I knew it wasn't a "normal" reaction and really...

How are you?

I am doing ok. They are actually back together but I am trying not get too attached or involved. I am still going to therapy

How is everyone? Mornings seem to be the worst for me. I wake up and think something just isn't right and then I remember. I can't seem to give up the hope that they will get back together. Maybe if I could it would be easier to move on. It has been 2 weeks so I guess that is not a lot of time...

I don't believe he doesn't love you and miss you. I think his anger is just misplaced and he is taking it out on you. Funny, I just asked my son if he would just text his ex and make sure she is ok and he got so mad and told me she is probably doing better than him. I guess it seemed like I...

Having a really bad day! I can't seem to stop thinking about her and missing her. Mornings seem so bad. I want so much to reach out to her but it would betray my son. My husband just doesn't get it and is getting frustrated which makes me sadder and more anxious. It helps writing on this blog...

I just miss her and her little dog so much! Sometimes I think I hear them downstairs. I feel like the joy, happiness and energy has been zapped from my house. My husband and son would be so hurt to hear me say that. They just don't understand. They think I prefer her over them but it was just...

Sparrow, So similar. 2 weeks ago they were all cuddly and lovey dovey and made plans to go to Disney. It is so hard to comprehend and such a shock. I may be crazy but I worry the kids these days go so fast. There isn't a lot of "dating" and getting to know each other slowly. I hope this isn't a...

Connie, it's almost worse than death since there is nothing you can do when a loved one dies but grieve and move on. I was not this depressed when my dad died and I loved him so much. With this I can't give up the last little bit of hope that I have that they will work it out. Because of that I...

Thanks to everyone and your support! One of my hardest issues is not contacting her. I want to know she is okay and I feel like we are abandoning her. I did get an antidepressant that also helps with anxiety. I am definitely depressed and anxious. Therapy is kind of stuck since I know the issues...

All of you have no idea what a relief it is to know I am not the only one feeling like this. I just returned from my therapist and she tells me to have no contact with her. Since she is bipolar and has issues which I think I can "help", but I can't help her unless she wants help. My mother...

I could not bring myself to go to work today. I feel like I am going crazy, can't stop crying and am so depressed. My 28 year old son and his girlfriend of 2 years broke up after a very tumultuous last 4 months. I have only one child and love this girl like a daughter. They lived with us until a...
