Thanks Steve,

I am still waiting on the DR book, hope to get it any day now. I have been reading a lot on the DB website and there is so much information, so I appreciate you giving me suggestions on what to read. Although I could not find a thread for Cadet’s link on detachment. I will keep looking.

I have been trying to GAL, that seems harder than detaching since I am no longer a SAH mom, since my son left. But I did sign up for a hiking club and am doing some volunteering at a school. Yes , youre right I did get lazy and stop trying, I regret it but my S17 suicide attempt just took it out of me.

My H gets home tomorrow from his trip. It is going to be weird, we have not seen each other in a few weeks. He has Called me a few times ( I try to end the call first) and sent me a photo, and then we had a call together with my S17 at his new school and it was a great conversation with him, he is doing really well. Anyhoo, I am making plans like I normally do and my sister is coming to visit for a week this Thursday so it will be a good buffer. I’m kind of doubting myself with things like, should i put away his clothes, pick up his dishes? Think he may come home and be like WTH?!

Thanks again for taking the time out to reply to my first post. Have a great day.
