Mopsey, I'm sorry to hear about the young man who attempted his life and ultimately was then called home. I think it's an absolute must to allow your daughter to talk about the situation. I believe it's healtier in the long run to allow the children to talk about such experiences and it helps them to deal w/the shock, pain and grief that will take place in their young lives.
Your h never ceases to amaze me. You are smart to keep your expectations at zero. Learn to accept him for who he is today and if he offers to bring you something or do something for you, accept his offers. Do not put him off. He wants to help you even if he can't help himself. There aren't many out there that will do this for the lbs and children. He's very different in the way that he's dealing w/his situation and I like to see him wanting to do things for you. Be sure to thank him when he does something nice.
Lucky woman! The next two Mondays off!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
