I agree with Jeff's advice. And, I hear ya on the need to preserve your self respect. I'm the opposite of you, I let my husband take advantage of me all the time and I don't say a bloody word. I think that is going to have to change soon. Baby cakes, this is going to be one hell of a ride and it ain't easy or fun.
Have you received the DB book yet?
Camping sounds great, but I understand why your son is concerned... be careful! What are your plans for the holiday?
Take care.
