Thanks labug. Lots of self reflection that I'm trying to process.
H is on road trip with his mother now and doesn't seem to be having a good time... I'd like some advice on how I can support him or even if I should?
I asked if he was having a good time & he replied 'wouldn't really say good... satisfactory'.
The man that left almost 1 year ago never would have gone on a road trip with him mother! Never in a million years. In the past, I would have supported him by taking his side against his mother (sounds mean spirited, but she is pretty intolerable). I can picture him stuck 4 states away with her and I just want to tell him that I love him and to come home! But I can't do that either. He doesn't want to hear any inspirational bs from me. I guess I'm trying to figure out what my role as LBS is and how I can offer support. Or maybe I shouldn't because he didn't ask for it.
Maybe just praise his willingness to go at all? Is that condescending?
