So, should we just assume you are venting and it's not really as bad as it sounds?
What can we use to chip through the brick wall and get them to talk to us? H wants to be close to me and tells me that if he didn't care he wouldn't be so concerned about my phone calls, etc, but, follow thru buddy. TALK TO ME! How do we get to them?
And NO, you cannot stay on vacation forever. If your kids are anything like mine, they already want to go home. How does he react when you tell him how much fun you are having on vacation? My H was a little surprised when I went on and on about what a great day we'd had, how beautiful the weather was, etc. I even said, quit your job and lets move here. I think he laughed, but I was so pumped that he couldn't help but respond.
Well, do all the venting or journaling you need. It gets it off your shoulders and helps you let it go, right? And you don't bore the heck out of your human friends.
Each experience in life has formed me, become part of me, made me stronger.
