Steve85 --- no, but I also wrote out that it did not on my post... that nothing change just because SS20 unloaded his frustration with his dad.
I get that SS20 was frustrated with his dad yesterday but he may also be over and things be patched up by now, next week... at some point. I listened and said I was sorry that he was not happy with his dad currently. I got the feeling that his dad was behaving very self centered when with him --- but I'm guessing. And, from what I read here and other places that WW are self centered.
SS20's statement about "I don't know what's going on with H... its like some mid life crisis..." came out of his mouth on his own unprompted or asked from me. While there was probably another 60-90sec in regards to H... I said none of this matters and moved the convo elsewhere... discussed sailing and SS20's dreams, etc.
ANYWAY --- my take away is 1) SS20 considers me an important person. and shared personal news rather than having me find out later when they post on FB.
I have another story that touches my heart deeply. I have knit all 3 kids there own special blanket and the stepkids took theirs when they moved out. SS20 told me he took his to Kuwait with him. I also know that he drove alone 2 days from where he was stationed to get home. Stopping occassionally for some sleep at a rest stop in the back of his car. As I was loading things into his vehicle (he still had a coat at the house, some memoribilia from childhood, some video games, etc) he opened his trunk.. AND there was his blanket. Its what he used to sleep with in the back of his car during his road trip. I cannot tell you how much my heart was filled with joy.
I'm dealing with some anger issues right now and need to explore and vent here shortly.
