No idea what the future holds, but I reached my breaking point and yesterday the final straw was laid. He made plans and I told him if he went through with them, he could have a nice life.

Its obviously more complicated than that. If anyone remembers last year around this time, plans that were made. Well, same plans, different year. I'm always an afterthought. All the while I'm trying to make plans and include him from the begining. Not dropping it on him and telling him "tomorrow, if you want to be included, you can spend $X". That is pretty much exactly how it went. So I gave him the choice - I threw the ball back at him - he knew the consequences.

I have a hunch he thinks that I'm not serious. But last night I re-iterated by telling him to let me know a date when he'll be out.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
