Sorry, our internet was down all weekend pretty much. I know it's going to be tough for you to have him out there by her, it's a major trigger for you understandably. The only thing I can really say is....just ride it out, not really helpful is it? I'm assuming he's going to be there for business right? You say he's going to be there for 7-8 hours, that's pretty much a business day...chances are he's going to be busy for that time. Now, if he were going to be there over 24 hours, or a couple of days...yeah that'd concern me, and I might just offer to go along ;-)
BUT since this is just a day trip, and like I said...he's likely to be busy with business stuff, just try to ride this out.
I'm glad he seems open to the things you are showing him, that's a really good sign. Heywyre, if you need someone to chat with to help keep your mind busy feel free to e-mail me...might not be a bad thing for you to have my e-mail anyway since we are going through such similar things. anitam@nordam.com If you send me something let me know first so I can see if our firewall filters it, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But that way I'll know to look for it if I don't receive it quickly.
Take care today...try to keep busy, try not to let your mind go there and drive you nutz!
