Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Dear , I know what you mean about our kids making sacrifices. I didn't even realize how hard it's been on mine during the times I was desperately sick. I think that's why they're so protective. (Not long ago, my odest son almost jumped a guy for flirting with me.) My Mom said my youngest told my Dad that he comes home by 5:00 every night b/c he doesn't want me to be alone. He's 18, & is thinking of me instaed of going out all the time. He also makes sure I always have my cell phone with me & that he knows where I'll be if I go anywhere. He's actually the one who ends up taking me to the ER if I need to go. He would be able to make it on his own, so I've tried to let him know I'll be fine if he moves out, but he plans to stay at least another year. I can't complain about that. But during this next year, I'm gonna make sure he knows he can leave & I'll still be alright. He needs to live his own life & not worry about mine. B/c of being a battered wife, both boys are really protective of me when they're Dad is anywhere around. If he calls on the phone, they won't let me talk to him without listening on the other line. I'm babbling. My point is, our kids are wonderful, aren't they? There's another silver lining, huh? Love, Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
