@merpreb Thank you for asking. I meant I do not want them to know how I struggle at times. I am not in the least a meddlesome mom. I enjoy hearing what they want to share. I went through a time feeling left out. I moved past that. I did not like the texting thing and now I enjoy it!! A good way to touch base. I no longer feel ignored when I get no reply. I am in the loop. Sometimes I try too hard. Things are better now since I have learned to relax some. Got wordy again. 🥴

@Parus- I can certainly understand that. I keep my son apprised but he doesn't really know how I ache inside with PTSD. He knows that I get depressed and he manages my blog but reading or hearing something isn't the same thing. I also had to learn how to be a mother to an adult son. We are much better off now and do still feel left out at times but he doesn't know. We email daily but short stuff or a picture, some small thing that just shows our love.
