Thanks for your words, Hongaku. This week was a bad one with my fussy son and I steered my anger toward H in my mind while I took care of things around the house as well. Some days are easier than others. I don't really want to ask him what he hates about me, be I get curious sometimes. Any little thing spooks him and the last thing I want to do is freak him out again. What you said about his own issues and frustrations makes total sense. I just need to take a breath and remember that sometimes.

I'm hoping for the best while preparing for the possible worst. The good part of all of this is, I am finding myself again and my old interests.

Rose888, you're right. I didn't think of it that way until I read your words. I've been angry with him with a mindset of "Well you let ME so I'll show you that I don't need you." It never occurred to me that maybe that was why he left in a huff that evening. Maybe I should calm down and stop that and let him help while I was ill. I'm going to thank him for his offer tonight when my son calls to say goodnight to me (hes at his dad's tonight.)
