Lotus, I like the message that this is non confrontational weekend. I am playing all this info a bit close to the vest here. I sincerely appreciate the willingness to share your stories and viewpoints. This is a tough time clearly, although I am "manning up a bit" as I agree with Robx.
To all who have been through it, including Mountaintop, Truegrit and tryingtil...how much is the Retro time a touchy feely, we cry alot type of thing? W is not too keen on seeing that too much from past comments (yes I'll be stronger) I think it makes her pretty uneasy and a little guilty.
Also True Grit, one vehicle is the mode of transport and we are 4 hours from home, so escape seems a bit unlikely. I am sorry to hear that happened, had to be rough. Did she actually sneak out? I imagine tunnels and camps guards....
