Count your blessings. My kids always had a house full of friends here. Would not have had it any other way. Some still stop by and give me a hug. Now consider that they are in their late 40's and early 50's. Still stop and say, HI MOM. Like you they had good homes, but here they knew they could air their problems and never be put down or lectured to. Would always try to help them find a solution and never judged them or told them what dumb things they were doing. Was hard sometimes but always was willing to listen. Even when the door bell rang at 2 AM. One of DS's friends had his girlfriend dump him two days before Christmas. Told me he couldn't cry at home so let it all out tome. Now he is married to a very sweet girl and has two daughters.
