[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 622348, member: 17461"] Nomad :O) It's so nice to see you, again. If you have time Nomad, Dammit Janet had responded with something similar about herself and her husband's relationship. As I responded to Janet's post...I started remembering little details of the way it is, when the kids are around. And I realized something, Nomad. Our husbands ~ yours, mine, Janet's ~ probably all of the husbands here and certainly those who have posted to us about their difficult children...they're protecting us, Nomad. I talked to husband about that idea, and about how alone he must have felt, all these years with me so angry about his decision to move to the cabin away from a house big enough for the kids and grandkids and then, to move across the whole country away from all the kids. And then, not want to go to see them so often as I want to. About his perceived selfishness in wanting our lives to be as they are. He was protecting me from myself, Nomad. It probably would have been easier to just leave me there. WITH the kids. Oy. husband acted like he knew that, all along. It was disconcerting. Ahem. So, I feel a little foolish, but...it is true. We, the mothers, can become so focused on our difficult child kids that we forget all about our own lives. That is what your husband is protecting you from. I say? Four hours is good. You can get there if you need to, but be private and begin your own lives. I am happy for you. Your husband cherishes you enough to hear you and hold you and do what is best for both of you without complaint. That is a very special thing. Cedar [/QUOTE]
