I am so emotional. I have a 17 year old son and I’m not ready for him to become a man. I was always just the 3 of us…my husband, my son and me. For the past 16 years we did everything together. I know children grow up and become adults but I’m just not ready for it. My son started his 1st job in July and a few months later he started dating his coworker. We’ve met her a few times. He seems happy with her. She’s a sweetheart and I am grateful she loves my son. The thing is that he spends all or most of his time with her. It does sting a bit knowing he no longer looks forward to hanging out with me or his dad. He loved it and now it’s not anything he makes time for. I’m not necessarily jealous of the attention he gives her, I know that’s part of life and I want him to be happy, but I just am not ready to let go. I don’t know how to cope. It’s his 1st girl friend and I maybe getting ahead of myself. We as parents think we are ready to have a baby, but we don’t realize that baby will be a teenager and eventually a full grown adult. Are there any parents out going through these growing pains and what did you do to help you ease the situation. Thanks. Emotional mom. (email your situation to: listeners@957thebeatfm.com)
