I fear this is me. Sometimes when I find myself asking too many questions and trying to protect my son, I remember a description you gave once of yourself as "the only child of an overprotective mother". I'm so fearful of all the ways my children can fall into trouble and mess up their lives entirely and forever. One second can everything. It worries me so.....as tyrannical and over-protective as Momma was and is-she loves me with all her heart...I know that, and I know how fortunate I am to still have her around at age 85...
...as a parent myself, I've known that fear many times...and all my kids have boned the pooch on multiple occasions, but I have learned to cut myself a break....I know that Tracy and I raised them well and gave them freedom to be themselves...it is what was denied me until I finally left home...I fear this is me.

Can't come in this thread anymore.
Can't describe how much I miss her.
