Had a half hour talk with T this morning. It was wonderful.
She helped my look at something & I realized it was true......that I was picking up my son's feelings.
I guess it's a kind of transference or cross transference or something. Anyway, as we were talking about it, the heavy heavy feelings started to melt away. I was so thankful that she was able to talk with me. She's great.
Thank you all for being here for me & encouraging me & saying kind supportive things that helped me.

PS - today was my birthday & I enjoyed my day & the nicest thing was that I was working up to telling my son that I needed him to have some structure in his life - to DO something etc. And this afternoon, he was talking to me about how he feels he's ready to go forward getting involved in a program offered by the YMCA. He even phoned & left a message for them to call him.
So I have learned from the past to not get TOO excited about it, but it's a positive move & I told him that the timing is good, because I was just working up to letting him know that it is NOT working for me that he doesn't have structure to his days....that it makes me feel unsettled & anxious & I'm really glad that he's come to a place where he plans to go forward. So that was a nice birthday present!!
