I agree. It's hard when you are with family and friends and have a great time, cause as soon as they're gone, it just feels so lonely again. I think 'emotionally drained' is a good term for it. We just keep giving so much to these R's and these up and downs are just completely draining. Add to that lack of sleep and illness...yeah, just kill us now. During my parenting seminar this weekend, one lady spoke on the story of where Mary poured the expensive perfume over Jesus and everyone critized her for it, but Jesus just said, "She did what she could." So, as it applies to us, we can't do everything, but we just do what we can. And at this point, you have your priorities straight - you can't do it all, so maybe it is the best just to focus on you and S. H will still be there. (Besides, it's hard to go to 'battle' for your R, when you feel weak). Just keep taking care of yourself and S, and GALing, and don't give up on H and your M, but just don't focus on it either. Maybe it will give H a chance to step up as well.
