I have ds, just 18. He doesn't drink and is really responsible and reliable, always checks in with me when he's left venue then when on train, taxi etc. Him and his friends occasionally go to see local bands in our city 15 minutes train ride away. Tonight is one such evening. I'm fine all night until he's til he's due to get back and i start thinking all sorts of terrible things have happened. I get really hot, feel sick and have to fight down my internal panic. He's currently waiting for an uber about 10 mins away so will be home soon. Anyone else do this or just me? Dh, his dad knows what I'm like but he doesn't worry the way i do. Tonight I've bern thinking my level of worry is Ott? Or is it just a mum thing? Like I said he's so reliable and isn't interested in clubbing and doesn't drink but I can't help worry. You hear such awful things

Mine is 19 and has just started driving. I was messaging at 12:45 am the other night asking when they would be in, mine never checks in, I’m a nervous wreck!
I was away at uni at DCs age and was talking to DM about this just yesterday. out of sight out of mind I suppose because she could just pretend I was safe home in bed, rather than actually knowing I was out at a club and walking home alone at 3am!

I used to go clubbing toovback in the day and thought my mum was over the top when she said she, couldn't sleep until she heard ny key in the lock. Now I totally get it!
