Today I plan to discuss several issues with my grown son. I actually have anxiety, and I don't want to have it. There is no reason to have it. Nothing bad is going to happen, and I believe this is left over trauma from childhood. With all my tools and progress my rational mind says how ridiculous I am to feel scared. My feelings however, seem to have a mind of their own. I will be talking to him in a few hours. We have been through thick and thin. Still hanging in there as mother and son. Go figure. Lyne

Positive thoughts are sent to you Lyne. I always remind myself that I am only responsible for my reactions, no one else's.

Many positive thoughts your direction.
Feelings aren't facts, they just are and trust me I know that's hard to remember in the moment.
When I am feeling anxious and/or scared about the unknown and it's usually about the unknown because I want to control whatever is going on .. I really try to remember that the God of my understanding has this all under control .. there is a far bigger plan than the one I'm trying to force or focus on.
I hope that everything went well for you and your son .. sometimes things have to get different before they can get better.
Hugs S :)

(((Lyne))) - I too am sending thoughts and prayers your way. I can readily relate ... discussions with my sons, no matter how much I love them and they love me can often go off the rails without intent or real cause. I try really hard to take my HP with me when we're 'going to talk'....it does help and I hope all went well!
