How old is your son? And how is HE feeling about this?
You're not setting him a good example of the fact that there are many things in the world we can't control, including who other people get involved with. You have no right to be angry about this: maybe a bit apprehensive and definitely watchful of your son's state of mind without being intrusive, but what use is anger in this situation?
You seem to be assuming that this new development will dump him back into depression again: I hope you're not conveying this fear to him or you'll have a self-fulfilling prophecy to deal with.
He was 17 now 18..they were so intensley in love. If i had a do over i wish i would havent let him see so much of her when he was younger. He quit boyscouts and his church to be with her more. I havent shown him im angry, but im sure it comes through. I am afraid of a set back and you are so right i dont want it to happen because im afraid it will. Maybe i do gotta deconnect some.
It would be good if you could detach a bit, you do sound a bit controlling to me: for example, what right would you have had to try and stop him spending time with someone he was so intensely in love with?
I reckon it would be better for both of you if you let go a bit, especially let go of that anger, it's doing no-one any good at all
My son's friend started dating his ex, I am so angry.
