Is it normal for WAS/MLCer to completely throw themselves into work? H seems to be at work every Sat, all day, and told the kids its because he can just blast his music with no one there and just do his work. Now, he seems to be there late at night...tonight he called at 9:30 and was still at work. He does NOT get any overtime for this so its not for extra money. I know its a good way to not be at his parents house, which he hates to be stuck at, but he has never been so into work, EVER. Wondering if this is just another way to escape and if its normal?

Hey Sweetbriar, while the urge to understand and fix is strong (I know, I do it) this thinking is just keeping you focused on him.
But it is a common coping mechanism for anyone who is not dealing with their feelings to do something obsessively.

We, here, tend to obsessively think about our Ss. smile

You're doing great. How about doing some prenatal yoga?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
