I hear you Cas. You are undoubtedly right but I am struggling so badly. If we had kids I think that things would be different. If I had a social support network, things would be different. I am here, practically on my own - that's what makes it different for me - and he knows it.
H says that he feels the same way in that he has no friends an no-one to talk to. I have offered to talk to him about what it is that troubles him but he says "you won't want to talk about my issues" - from that, I mean that his issues are with ow and her baggage - and her living so far away. No, I can offer no sympathy on that one but it's crossed my mind if I should validate his feelings and say "it's OK, you can talk to me about it" - whatever it costs emotionally. It might earn me big points but I don't think that he would do it for a moment and also, I don't think that I would cope with the conversation at all.
Fathers Day - huh! I got that one wrong and thought it was last week! I therefore hid his card inside a box that he was taking from the house with him ... he must have thought that I have completely lost it!! Ah well.
Really struggling here today. Look like hell and leaving for the interview in twenty minutes. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread!!
