[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 515785"] I have a little prayer/wish/thought I say to myself when I am feeling especially snarky - "please let us remember to turn TO each other and not ON each other..." (I am the one with the knee jerk tendency to turn on H instead of two H) When my difficult child first left back in August - H was so angry because he "just wanted his wife back." I was a preoccupied mess. Bawled my way through any dinner out, in the car home from get-togethers, at movies (comedies - go figure) and often would feel my heart start to jump out of my chest in the middle of a party and have to leave. When he would say that - I would get so angry at him. How could I be myself when the boy I cherished had stormed out of my house and had not returned? How callous was he to think it was some switch I could flip and how dare he make this about what he wanted? I mean seriously! He wanted his wife back - he wasn't wishing that our boy would come home or that I would find strength... my poor husband and his lack of eloquence - looking back - I get it. He wanted us to go on -keep moving forward and he resented our son. I think he was free to do that because I wanted our son back so desperately. Had I been so angry with difficult child - it's likely H would have been more openly heartbroken. [/QUOTE]
