Oh I am so sorry to hear this turn of events. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

If you are not up to it, then don't. Go do something else, take S to movies, walk around the mall, go to the library, take a long drive and sing songs with S. When you do get home, if H asks or wants to talk, say: I appreciate you, H, for wanting to discuss this very serious subject, and I want to make sure I have my thougths together. I"m going to sleep on the information you have already given me and lets see how things are tomorrow as to when we can sit down and talk. Or something simular. Unfortunatly, there will never be a "good" time....
Focus on what is good for YOU Cathy. Things are clearer when the anger subsides (another plus for not getting into a discussion before you're ready)
You are an AWESOME woman Cathy, you have given so much to so many. You know all the DB skills and have practiced them with such patience. The core fact remains, you will be OK and will survive this as well.
Again, you have my thoughts and prayers my cyber friend.
