Thank you for your very kind response. You sound like such a nice person.
My daughter hasn't lived with me since she was 13, so I have been able to keep a lot of my health concerns from her. I will say that when she found out how very bad my mental health was this winter (four hospitalizations), she was nothing but supportive and kind. She's at a great place in her life. She's just finished her first year of university, she has a job for the summer that she really likes, she has friends whom she loves, and I guess I don't want to be a downer. But I think you're right. She'd probably want to know. So I will find a time and tell her. Thank you for helping me sort that out.
I think my son does still value me, but sometimes it's hard to see that because he has changed so much this past year. He's gone from being my son, living at home and being his everyday loveable self, to a man living a couple of thousands of miles away, with a fiancee, and with far less patience with me than I'm used to. It's understandable that things can't be the same, but I miss the closeness we once had. I'm glad to hear that he's not the only kid who doesn't keep in touch. Thanks again.
