Thank you

Crow

Hope this horrible situation is over soon for you and your son.

Look after yourself too Crow

Good to know you are still with us Crow. Gransnet is great!

A few of us are going through a similar thing and I, for one, would be happy to listen if you wanted to pm me!

Crow I think seeing our children suffering is the worst of all things.
for you.

Good luck crow be sure you are not on your own

Crow such a painful thing to go through.

Crow It's so sad when things go desperately wrong for our children, but try to hang onto the happiness in your bit of the world. We musn't hand it all over to them. Hope it is all settled soon and pieces can be picked up.

Crow I went through this with my son and now am going through it again with DD and although that is a mutual decision for them I know she is hurting at what she considers is a failure after 23 years, so I do know how you feel.

Even though he's now moved on, I can still remember how wretched I felt when his previous relationship ended and the sleepless nights I had. A big hug and from me as well; lets hope the combined gransnet understanding of what you're going through softens the pain a bit.

Crow

So glad that gransnet has been a support to you at this trying time. We all want our children t be happy and choice of partner is such a critical factor. Let us hope that your fson will move on into a settled and happy relationship when all this dies down.

Oh Crow I so agree with you. I posted throughout the difficult time during my son's break up and the response was wonderful and got me through each horrible day. I don't think I've posted since those dark days but I do lurk! Son is now happy in a new realtionship and I am due a grandchild in January. There is lots of support and wise words on Gransnet.

Crow I understand too

Always there for you, when you're ready, Crow. x

Crow I empathize. I understand you not posting about it here but I hope you have someone you can "unload" to. I find it helps.

to you. They are always our children and we worry about them, no matter how old they are.

Oh! yes! Purple Our grand-daughter has been dumped by text by her boy-friend of ten months or so, and I feel for her too. Totally out of date about these things,but it is a cruel world (and cowardly), that allows someone to do that like that, rather than face to face. Nothing like a divorce I know, but we do so feel for all our children.
Broken hearts eventually mend, but the scars are always there, I think.
