Jimrich, it's often helpful to read the entire thread before replying. The OP's son has died.


OP, I am so sorry for your loss.

JImrich, you said in this thread //www.city-data.com/forum/paren...teenagers.html, that you were receiving therapy. You might want to step away from your keyboard until you have healed yourself. Both on this forum and the Non-romantic forum, you're offering "advice" as though every parent is like yours. And, your advice is not helpful to adults who need to put their adult pants on and deal with life.

My condolences OP. You've lived every parent's worst nightmare. But, you tried, as most of us do.

I never realized until just now, in this last month, the level of sorrow & loss that a parent feels when their child leaves home (even when they want them to go) - I've long since healed from the majority of my "wrong" with my parents, but this is a whole new layer of "knowing" & healing.
My parents dd not deserve nor even want my love and respect once I was out of their home and I never felt any desire to go back to them once I was living my own life. They, not I, set up all the conditions for this break to happen many years ago. I wanted to love, respect and honor them all the way through BUT they would not and could not ALLOW IT! If they ever "missed" me after I was gone, it was their own foolish fault for how they treated me years before I left home.

JIMRICH: PLEASE READ the OP's updated posts and stop posting painful things as the above - her son has DIED - try to be respectful for goodness sake!

OP - I am so sorry for your loss -- I went through years of fearing my son wouldn't make it, but even so I cannot imagine the pain you are experiencing. I pray that in time you will remember all the good days you all had instead of the terrible day he died. May God comfort you as you learn how to go forward.

Default Sorry for your loss.

[quote=think.reciprocity;46619152]24 September 2016

he died.
What happened to him?

forever 28
I am sorry for your loss and, if this is like with my late wife, he is over in the Afterlife now and very happy there. I'd recommend a visit to a Psychic to have a meeting with your son. They are always right here with us and they LOVE us just as we are.
