Thanks I think I have a grip on things with h, but I am feeling a little blue, actually. It isn't the usual roller coaster stuff, I think it's from having been sick lately ( and a little preoccupied), I have been really isolated from my closest friends. So it's like H is right there waiting for me to lean on him. But that's too easy, and not very smart. So I'm not doing it.
You made a really good point about not needing to say anything more on "the subject" of OR with H before he goes. You're right. It's not neceesary to say any more about it. I will see him a little bit before hand and I know He will BUT I am going to gently close the door on the "talks". I'm going to remember three letters a friend once told me:
FFC. Firm. Friendly. Consistent.
She was talking about dealing with children, but I think it applies to unpredictable WAH's too.
