[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 567534"] Thank you all for all your comments and support and just general caring. Your comments really helped!!! I realized that yes he is totally playing me and being manipulative. It is funny but somehow the posts on FB felt directed at his friends (not me) and so I just felt so sad that not many were responding and how can these people help him?? It did not occur to me that of course it is a way for him to push my mommy buttons without directly asking me for anything!! He is very manipulative and smart so it could all be with a purose.. and maybe it isn't. However it doesnt matter, there is help available to him, and I think he knows it and in fact knows perfectly well how to access it. So I got my head on straight at least for today... went to my dhs work Xmas party and actually had a good time!!! Nancy you are right about needing to deal with the fact that he may die... I think I have done that and then when faced with the real fear I fall apart. I dont think there is any way to fully prepare for that but knowing I have done what I can and really do not have any control does help. Thanks again to everyone... I really dont know what I would do with out this forum!! TL Jane thanks for your comments.. yes he is playing me. I am still not at a point where I can stop checking his facebook but I have decided to no longer give unsolicited responses to his crazy status updates. I will respond to him when he private messages me and otherwise i will keep quiet. I dont think he can tell if I am reading his page or not, except when I express concern to him so I am going to stop doing that. husband is back in town. He got back on Friday and that helps... and going to work tomorrow will help too. :) [/QUOTE]
