Lynn, I think dealing with not having my son around is one of the hardest things that I've ever had to deal with emotionally. Even harder than being an abuse survivor. I even had to take his pictures off the wall. Can't even look at family albums! He is my first born and we use to be so close. It hurts so much, but I try to go one day at a time and put him out of my mind. Most of you would know how hard that is for a mom.

Chickadee, I use to be one of those that would go on my way. I am pretty shy, but have learned to say what's on my mind by doing my topic at Suite101.

Thanks again for your kind words.
