I was estranged from second son Cameron for many years. I believe his wife made him choose between her and me. I am glad he chose his family. He is sort of coming around to being friends with me again. Things can never be like they were. I will pray for your situation dear.

It's so hard being estranged from a child, even an adult child who can no longer be taught or guided or required to do what a parent deems best or wise. My heart's with you and him, with hopes something will change that will melt imagined barriers.

Re: Good morning
Thank you for your comments, Sassy - I wouldn't go so far as to call myself amazing, but at times I've been lucky. Stay safe.

I can imagine as a Mother you cannot help but feel an inner sadness it is like losing one that cannot be put to rest. Sadly as we age we do seem to dwell on past memories at times. They become more vivid presumably because our minds sometimes relate to the past more easily. Take care.

Good morning
I am so sorry. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain that you are feeling over not knowing. You're right, at eighteen we think we know it all. As for the marriage, you were a smart woman to recognize a narcissist. So many do not see the obvious signs of one. As young women, we tend to make a few bad choices that later become lesson's learned. It is why you are the amazing woman that you are today.

Re: Good Morning
Thank you, Goldiec. We have to remind ourselves sometimes that mistakes are not fails, but lessons. Stay safe.

Good Morning
Pat, your life has come full circle and I love the way you present your posts. I think all that you've lived through helps to make you the person you are today. As far as the first marriage goes I do have to say I'm thankful you were able to remove yourself from that terrible union. I think young girls have a way of romanticizing life. It's just the way it is. When I think of my life there are definitely questionable choices I've made. I chalk it up to learning lessons that for some reason the universe thought I needed to learn. I wish your son the best and I hope he can find his way back to you and the family. It was his choice to pick the path he is on and unfortunately, it's not an easy path.
I hope you have a good day! Have some hot chocolate and think happy thoughts!
