I know your agony.
A year and a half ago my youngest daughter went to join her two older siblings at her father's house. He lives only 3 doors down, but when she is living with one parent she spends little time with the other. It happened in the blink of an eye. I became self-injurious. When I got to the hospital they tried to convince me that I wanted to be mad at her, but I could only be mad at myself. I still can't imagine being mad at her. I stumbled through the 6 months until she came back. But she may go again in September, and I don't know how I will handle it.
It is an anguish like no other. I know she loves me, but that doesn't help.
I wish I had happy news for you, but all I can offer is that I have been there, too. And I know the pain. And she did come back, and maybe she will stay. And maybe your son will come back.
