I hope your son is ok, poor little thing! It sounds as if you have all been through the wars a bit lately!! I hope he mends soon, it's amazaing at just how quick they do recover from things like that.
Did you get an answer to your question - i hope it has helped. It's brilliant that you sent each other cards, doesn't it feel wonderful that they did actually send a card. It's crazy really isn't it, before the split we probably took it for granted that we would get a card and it wasn't a big deal but now it means such alot. In a way the separation has probably done us all a world of good. It now makes us appreciate things so much more and makes us realise exactly what we have got and what we should be thankful for. I know that i am much more laid back now and silly things which would have bothered me in the past just don't seem important anymore. The thought of losing your H certainly puts things into perspective!
How do your family feel about you and H getting back together? I haven't said very much to mine, just that we are trying to sort things out and that it will take a long time. I don't give away any details. My mum keeps asking when is he going to move back into our bedroom, i don't think she realises just what a big deal it is for them to be back home, let alone back in the same bed!
