[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 634168, member: 15801"] OK keep giving me pep talks I need them right now! So his lawyer called me. He did call her.... thank goodness. She said he was going to call probation and I hope he does. She asked if he had given us a check to cash and I said yes. She asked how much and I told her. He had earned some money and couldnt cash the check right away so we cashed it for him. So it was reasonable for him to have some money.... so if they are blaming him for something that he didnt do then that is not reasonable. If it was because he mouthed off at staff then that is a different issue. She called because she just wanted to confirm what he told her. So I had a lovely lunch with a new friend today and that was good and distracted me and I Was fine during it. Big big progress from a few years ago when nothing could distract me during a crisis. But once I was alone driving home I got antsy. I so want to call or text him to see if he is ok. I want to see if he has called probation and tell him he should if he hasn't. I want to see if he has heard anything. And I am holding back because I know know know that I need to let him handle this and stay out of it. He will get in touch if he needs me so I dont need to interfere. But darn it I want to so badly!! And it is because I want reassurance that things will be ok, that he is ok. I want to know it is all going to work out. I do not do well with this period of floating in the unknown. I hate it. And I have to sit here, and I may be sitting here for awhile. I know from experience that I will get better at it, that I may not feel this so acutely tomorrow. Part of it is just the PTSD of it all.... I have been here before and I dont want to be here again. I just don't. Thank goodness I have plans tonight, and all day tomorrow and Saturday. Things I like to do.... because I need a lot of distraction right now. But keep up the pep talks... they help.
