Hello, my eldest son has been living in Vancouver for the past 3 years. He has the most wonderful life, so I am so happy for him. However he plans to stay there and I won't be able to visit him as regularly as I have and he won't be able to come home so often. Are there other mums out there who have a similar situation and how do you overcome the ache and pain that this causes. The other thing I worry about, is when we do get to see each other its for a week or two, which means that is a long time for an adult child to spend with his mum, so it gives him time to get irritated with me and I worry he won't then look forward to our next trip whenever that might be. After 3 years I still cry over this constantly :(
