I didn't even know my last thread was locked.

H is deer hunting. He's down at our place alone though, so he's lonely (no TV) and keeps calling. It's kind of odd...normally he can go for 3 or 4 days and not call one time if he has friends around.

Last weekend was different though, he made a point to call a couple of times and tell us he missed us. I think he did miss us. It's surprising.

I want to explain myself again about why specifically I was thinking about postponing S12's counseling appt...I am thinking we would have better success if we waited just a bit longer, for one thing, my son's last game is tomorrow and we are finally done with all that stress, and H really needs to get well, and the holidays are of course coming...my gut feeling is that throwing that in just this moment will be counter-productive at this point.

I need more time to work on my Al Anon program as well. I am going to call a couple of people from my group and discuss it with them. They really put a lot of stock on getting stable yourself before you try to do too much about your situation. Gotta put on my oxygen mask first, as the saying goes.

So I am not postponing for my son in some procrastinating, chickening out way...I want to do it the best way possible...and emotional abusers can become worse with counseling. I need to tread very carefully.
