Hey Linda!

Interesting stuff happening over in your tiki-hut!

It won't be like when he disappeared with RT the first time, I"ll know where he is. I wonder if he will contact me to let me know he arrived safely etc. I don't think I should contact him unless I hear from him first.

If and when he ever does go to Russia, don't initiate any contacts with H. If he does let you know he's arrived in Russia, you can say "H, thanks for letting me know you've arrived safely. Take care. Linda" Then let him go. He needs to experience the hard stuff firsthand for himself since he's raring to go and get away. You will not be there to swoop down and 'rescue' him from the mess of his OWN making while in Russia. Then he'll have no one to blame but himself. I think the trip will truly open H's eyes in ways that no one can. And it'll be good in an odd way.

Yesterday S27 asked me what is wrong with his dad. I asked him what he means, and he said that his personality has completely changed. He has dropped all of his friends, and does not even really ever see or talk to his family anymore. He only talks to RT every day. He does not even talk to his other language exchange partners on skype just RT. He is crabby and does not seem to be interested in anything anymore. He doesn't have any hobbies anymore. You will be talking with him, and he just wanders away. Never exercises. Eats strange food. He used to be very involved in the church and now won't go and has a girl friend.

Geez... the MLCer actually has the gumption to think that no one notices this behavior??!! confused HEEEELLLLLLOO Mr. ET!!


H just came home. I am in my office in the basement, and started to go upstairs to say hello, then thought about me hanging on to his pants leg, him dragging me along, and went back downstairs. I could hear him climb the stairs to his bedroom any, skype time.

Excellent self-awareness on your part, sweetie! wink You're getting the hang of this....yay! laugh
