Growing up

[Angela101568]

Well, my son got married two weeks ago, and moved into his own house last week.  I knew it would be hard to let him grow up, but i didn't realize that I would be so lonely.  For most of his life everything I did pretty much revolved around him.  Now I don't know what to do with myself.  I worry about whether or not they will be able to pay their rent and electric, they are both barely 18 and they have a baby on the way.  They haven't even graduated high school yet, although my son had enough credits that he didn't have to go back to school after Christmas.  I know that it will be so hard on them, they both work part-time at jobs that only pay minimum wage.  But I also know that I have to let him try, and now my main job is to be there for him and support him and encourage him.  I guess the loneliness is my problem, and I know all mothers go through this, it is just really hard.

I'm sorry. It is hard to let our "little ones" go ;-) but, you have the right attitude about it, I think and....pretty soon you will be a Gram and that starts a whole new journey!! Good Luck!
