I agree with what the others have posted. I also think your response showed you hear him and validated his feelings while showing you are living your life and standing for you. I can only imagine how many emotions his wanting to come home must bring up in you. My advice is to try to not focus on the little details and try to step back and view things from a broader perspective. For example, over analyzing his comments or actions from one episode might have you feeling that they mean more than they do. Stepping back a bit and weighing actions that occur over a longer period of time might offer more clarity (or even lack of actions count towards knowledge). He might just be testing the waters or he might be just pulse checking you. What he does in the next few weeks will help to make things more clear...well, at least as clear as they can be with someone in crisis. MLC is crazy town after all. Hugs to you. (((Eagle3)))
