stop worrying so much

I have been better at trying not to worry so much about my son. He is making his own way in life and seems to be doing OK. He has a nice girlfriend, is studying at uni for a Tourism degree and has a summer job at the moment to help with the finances. I help him when I can. I just miss him so much as he is so far away. I guess we always worry about our children!

Worrying is such a negative thing..it’s in the early hours of the morning when I worry about the “what ifs”. So I have tried asking myself “What is the worst case scenario?” and whatever happens always looks alot better! My hardest thing to deal with is my concern over my 18 year old son who studying in a city so far away from me. I worry about so much…often silly little things like: I hope he didn’t sleep in this morning and was late for lectures….or I hope he’s eating OK and then of course all the major ones…like drinking excessively, driving fast in cars, etc etc…I guess every mother feels the same!

I mostly worry about my son, he is`18 and studying and living a long way from home.
