Doc, thanks it helps to know I'm not alone.

Yeah, made a big mistake, pre-DB. GALing - and being mysterious (I guess) backfired for me. H didn't chase me, he instead said, "ok, I'll prepare for a D."

And you are right about him needing to be more reasonable about the time thing. I'm a laid back person and figure it's hard on my S5 that dad moved out (we're separated) so I have been available as much as possible for H to see S when he wants to.

But I think it's clear I need to set some boundaries now about getting a firm date and time. Thank you so much for the reminder.
