Hi Saffie - thanks for posting! Hmmm...sick leave...I never even thought of that. That's a good idea. He is a teacher, like I am, so I'm not sure how all of that works at his school, but he may be able to work something out. I'll put the bug in his ear.
Retro has given us both the opportunity to see one another for who we are and we do like one another very much. You are right on with the whole little boy lost. He knows what he needs to do, what he should do, what not to do, but he just isn't able to do the right things. I think he really is out roaming the world looking for love (or his idea of love). He appears to be a teenager right now. Knows the right things, just not interested in being adult enough to do them.
I asked him last night if he was happy with how his life is going. If he was tired of all of this. He said he wasn't happy and he is tired of living this lifestyle. I just responded with, H, YOU have the power to make things different in your own life. You just have to do it.
If that makes him leave, that's fine. I'll move on, if it helps him stay and stay the right way, that would be great. As with all major hurtles in life, time will tell.
