this is not life, this is a nightmare

My son has been gone for a week, and it has been quite peaceful. a little sad. He is currently living with his dad (we are divorced) so I at least know that he has a bed at night. His dad isn't around much though, so he is pretty much on his own. I have been trying to keep busy and not think about him, concentrating on me instead of his problems. It takes a while to blow the cobwebs out of your system so you can begin to see straight again.
dslalonde- the thing that has helped me (told to me by someone on this site) you are prolonging his using by giving him a soft place to land. There is such a thing as loving them too much. I know how scary it is. Sometimes I feel like I will lose my mind. But I have no control over him, only me. And I don't want to lose myself in his choices. Yeah, I sound like I've got it together now, but there are days....I too miss my little boy, but he is gone until he decides to come back. Be brave, God is in the chaos as well as the good.
