Turning myself around

[NNP1965]

Opti I just wanted to add that when my son's were very little (especially my oldest who is "Mommy's Boy") and H would return from being underway DS12 would be very excited about Daddy coming home, but then would have nothing to do with H when he actually got home. At the same time, he would cry if H left his sight.

I feel for your DS.

As far as H, I think he did pretty good. A thought occured to me while reading about it.

Is it possible that while he is away from you he gets crazy thoughts of you not wanting him, or being better off with out him?

I remember on some of those long patrols, my mind would play horrible tricks on me and until I heard from H, I could think up some really wild things. Of course this was in the days prior to email and we could truly go weeks without him being able to call.

Not excusing him, but like a said.... just a thought.
