Ok I'm a mom of a diabetic son I don't know how to say how I feel but I'm sick I can't sleep eat I cry all the time I don't talk to my family any more some times I feel like laying in my bed and never getting up. He will be 18 in November I am so sad about that he doesn't take care of his self. He don't eat right check his sugar. I try to back off but I can't and I feel as if we are not as close as we used to be. I think of him as my baby. I ask maybe 5times a day how's your sugar did u check it was it high did u eat junk food today. That's just about what I do everyday. His dad never says anything but I just can't set and let him kill his self. Even if he hates me later for this and I'm guessing he will move out with his dad at 18 and I feel like I can't deal with that worrying every secound. So should I back off alittle or not??? Please help

    It's normal for mothers to worry about their children (my mom worries about my brother and me all the time), but it sounds like your worries are taking over your life. Maybe you would benefit from counseling or anti-anxiety meds.

    If I was in your shoes, I would be the exact same. Your children are your babies, you have raised them and you will always care for them. I would seek out a therapist for you, or maybe even your son. If he does not know how to take care of himself maybe you should teach him. Or maybe he knows what he is doing.
