TxMom, I know how hard this is and we are really newbies still. We feel helpless and we cannot control. We feel like we are still married and they think they are on to a new free life. It feels like your guts are ripped out sometimes and they are.
Stop asking, questioning and thinking for them. That is one of my biggest faults also.
We can't figure them out -- of course we can't we are logical and they are on another planet. They were reasonable before but now we truly don't know them.
I do know the more I say stuff to my H -- the more he wants to run.
How much can we take -- we can only know for ourselves. I am going to try and hang onto my M as long as I can. This did not happen overnight, and I know it will be a long haul if I can last. We are here for you and pray and support you.
