My son has taught me a much needed lesson: the pain stops when us parents die. Unless we decide to stick around in the afterlife and watch over them.
My son isn't an addict, but he hurts like everyone. When he's hurting it hurts me too. A few years ago, when I watched him crawling on the floor after herniating a disc, fighting back tears, I had to fight them too.
I hurt with my son just as much as my daughter. The difference is, I never obsessed over him. The pain never goes away, we just learn to handle it better.
