Paul - Always nice to see your come on the board. I had to Google what pants means in your area of the world... I should have said trousers, right?
I did try the "water off a duck's back" thing last night. It hurt though. Here was this man that I've known for 17 years saying these things to me. I mean, we've been through rough times and have said some things to each other, but that just sucked. The past week I've just seen this wall come up. A wall that I saw come up 6 years ago and I know at that time it was nearly impossible to break through it, even for minor issues that had to be dealt with. I truly feel that if H could leave right now, he would. He just has no where to go, unless he finds one of his young pals to move in with.
My mom emailed me this morning asking me to let her know if it was still okay for them to come down the weekend before Christmas. I told her that she can make any plans she wants. I don't want her plans changed because of us. I told her that H knows that they were thinking of coming and that it's his loss.
Well, I need to run and get some work done!!
