Rsk, this is one of my biggest struggles--that I don't know where my sadness comes from--it seems too big and too diffuse to come from a specific incident.
That you are feeling this way, though, tells me that you are doing good work in therapy--that the memories are close (as hard and awful as that may be).
I can't imagine how hard it must be to have a teenage child driving! I teach teenagers and even that (relatively superficial, in comparison) relationship makes me worried about them so much. But I see that good parenting makes all the difference. If you have connected with your son, made him value himself, then really, not too many things can shake that security.
Take care. (((((rsk))))
