Tonight my son has gone out with friends but is due to work with me very early tomorrow morning. I'm proud of myself, I just rang once and calmly told him what the start was tomorrow and asked him was he ok for a ride home. I also told him to be careful. Last year, I would be in emotional mess now and though I do feel a bit quesy, I have read some very helpful posts here tonight and know that I am not alone. If he comes home great, if not great, I hope to get there on time tomorrow and I'll jump that bridge when I come to it. I can no longer take care of everything for everyone and freaking out does not help. I have packed for this business trip and hope to put finishing touches on tomorrow. Letting go does not mean that I do not care but I have had to learn to set some boundaries for ME. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
