Giving up controlling ways


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.

Hope things turned out ok, Maire rua.

Glad you were able to "Let Go"
