Are these feeling normal?

Is it normal as a parent to still love your adult child mixed with sadness, disbelief, anger, disapproval and numerous other emotions I can't explain?
Really struggling with the day to day as they seem to be moving on and I feel I'm stuck in a tornado of emotions and having to bite my tongue, feeling very lost, afraid and ashamed and it's not my crime
Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome as despite trying to move forward it appears I am struggling and has resulted in massive family dynamic changes

Hi there, I can definitely relate to all of that, the feelings are so conflicting. I am trying to remember who he is, despite the awful offence, and trying to trust both him and my own judgement that he is a good person. I'm afraid I'm going through the same thing so I don't have any advice but I hope it helps to know you're not alone. Here if you wanted to message me x
Sorry you are struggling so much. Goes with the territory i think :(. Have you called the helpline for a chat about how you are feeling? Might be helpful?
Go well.
Go well.
I can so relate. As much as I love my Son (the world over) I too have conflicting feelings, like yourself - of shame, disgust and resentment of why on earth he would put us through what has been the worst time of our lives by far.
im going to put my neck on the line here, but il go as far to say that it's a baggage that I will carry for the rest of my life and an invisible wedge that will no doubt always be there lurking in even years to come. Some days il be honest I've felt like walking away from him, and as a mother I'm ashamed to say that. A nightmare beyond anything ever. Sending love to you all x

I'd say it's normal some days I could scream WHY at him for what he's done and some days I cry for him as he looks helpless
I guess time is a great healer so just take it one day at a time is my advice
