I have been thinking about you!! So glad you wrote..
Things have been good.. Michele is awesome..
Its just those everday little things that seem to bother me.. H went to lunch and I felt the urger to snoop.... I resisted... its just not worth the heartache.. and the whole ring thing I know is somewhat silly, but its just one more thing...
And I have not heard from my son in 2 weeks... thats killing me...
Tina...
Being able to actually meet and have a session with Michele was probably the best step you could have taken and to get H to go along speaks volumes IMO.
Ah yes the day to day little snags and episodes, the thoughts that just POP into our heads, that is why I have become happy to go to bed LOL. Seriously I agree we can't let it get to us or we lose track of our path it's like being an addict having to remind yourself to stay away from the triggers.
The ring thing again is a personal thing. I finally found away to cope with it, if it gives my W that ultimate feeling of independence and gets us that much closure to being together then so be it. In their mind it is just another reminder of what they are unable to give so if it frees her from that and allows her to make decisions in the right direction who am I to throw a fit. But yes it does still hurt.
I can only imagine what that must feel like, to be in the midst of all of this and not hearing from your son only adds to the mounting pressure. I for one will say thanks to you and your family for the decision of your son to serve this country and help keep us safe and protected and to all of the other family members on this board thank-you for your sacrifices in giving of your loved ones to protect us.
Keep your path Tina, keep working on yourself and D14, I see good things coming your way.
