Whatis and ST - thanks for checking in.

Whatis - I see what you're saying. It frustrates me tremendously since I was only home with H for all of 20 minutes before he went to bed (had been with my dad all night). How much distance can he possibly need??? And there's a "yeah but what about what I might need" element, too. (and I wasn't even sure what I needed so I didn't know what to ask for - that's certainly not his fault, but just another frustrating part of it). But I do see what you are saying.

ST - good point on the "take care of yourself," that could be. Today I am at a point of not really caring what I "show" him in dealing with things with my dad. I know this sounds awful but part of me wishes he just wasn't here. It's hard enough dealing with my dad, but having to think everything else through in so much detail.. it's just too much.

I guess it's all just emphasizing for me how much I suck at relationships and communicating, and I don't even feel like fixing it at the moment.

Sorry to be such a downer... I am still very, very relieved and happy for how things are going with my dad.
