Thanks to everyone for your wonderful support and good advice.
I've been tired all day from staying on the phone with H last night. By the way, it wasn't a constant conversation all night. H was on his cell phone and hit several "dead spots" along the way; he'd wait a half-hour or so and call back. Nonetheless, it made for a long night. I know I said I would be his friend when he needed to talk, but .. I can't handle these late night calls.
AH, I wasn't kidding about the OW being a Fatal Attraction. If you remember my early threads, she tried (and also threatened) suicide many times, bombarded H with calls and TMs, wormed her way into H's family; in other words, she did her best Glenn Close "Bunny Boiler" imitation. She was indirectly the cause for H being charged with a felony; he is currently on probation for two years.
As for Imp's question about what I was thinking two hours into the call:
Up until recently, H has been secretive and tight-lipped. Getting him to admit to anything was a struggle. Last night he was just the opposite - he opened up about everything. I didn't ask any questions; he volunteered all information. He wanted (needed?) to talk and he didn't sugar-coat anything. So I guess my answer would be, I was shocked at the abrupt about-face. A lot of my questions were answered.
H is still very much on his roller coaster ride. He needs to complete it by himself, but I don't know if he is strong enough to be alone for long. I did my time on that ride and don't have any desire to get back on. Even his call last night wore me out.. too much drama .. and I'm getting used to peace in my life again.
