I think they go through stages. There was a period that mine wouldn't even let me hold his hand. I was afraid to touch him in bed even by accident. But then they realize that we haven't really changed, we are still the same people and they mellow.

Sorry to hear about your grandmom. Very sad, hope she gets better. I lost my parents 15 yrs ago so I also have that to deal with during all this. No one to fall back on or get support from. My mom was divorced while pregnant with child #2 who her H said wasn't his. (He is!) Then she married my dad when they were 5 and 4 and had 3 more, including me last. Second marriage worked for her. She would have lots of insight for me, she had it rough! Moved in with her Mom and stepfather-yes, another second marriage that lasted till death. My H used to say everyone in my family got a divorce (except me until now!)Thought I was the exception. Guess no one is exempt.

It is natural to be down. I went down earlier today from something I heard on the radio. That got me to thinking. But I try not to think, at least until he actually moves out. Try to watch a movie with your sick child. That always keeps me occupied and if sick that will keep them going as well.

Hang in!
