[quote=Anonymous]Hugs, OP. I know this hurts because I lived it recently. They are 18. They are ready to leave by a little freaked out by it. So they say these things to make it easier. They don't realize how devastating it can be to us. I made the mistake of snooping on my DS's reddit account. The hyperbole and outright lies would have me in tears. BUT...and I am living this now...once they get out there and meet kids from *real* dysfunction, they'll understand. My son returned for Thanksgiving after his first semester of college and THANKED me for not being overbearing, absent or generally insane. He figured it out pretty quickly and our Christmas visit was delightful. Hang tough, OP. Your son will figure it out, too. [/quote]
