Hi B. I agree with 2TP.

You have to get those expectations in check or you are going to make yourself crazy.

This is what they do, the hurry up and wait stuff. doesnt mean anything either way unless you make attach something to it.

Who cares why he didnt respond back? Not your problem, right?

As long as you continue to have these expectations, you are not going to move forward.

And yes, people say things they shouldnt. And no one knows what someone is going through.

You know the truth, though, right?

You know how much you love your children and so do they. You know how hard you are trying and so do they.

Remember since he is out in lalaland, you are their touchstone. They are looking at you, even at this young age, to see how to navigate through life's struggles.

Show them how to do it with courage and strength. It is the greatest gift you can give them.

You are doing your best and that matters.

His journey, leave him to it. You walk yours.
