I should have added, the most painful I have had to deal with as an adult. It took me over 35 years to heal from the pain of my childhood. Both events are traumatic, but emotionally, this seems harder. But I deal with things much differently now, than I did when I was a young woman. Back then, I was self-destructive and I let the past almost destroy me. Today, I find constructive ways to release my pain. So although the situation with my son is painful, I find can get through it with meditation, prayer and my writing.
