[QUOTE="slsh, post: 106508, member: 8"] Aw Star... I just don't know what to say. If someone could just figure out how to get him pointed in the *other* direction and let him dig and dig... all his energy... so frustrating and sad. That "settling" is an interesting thought. I guess because to me settling a more internal/emotional thing, while detachment (for me at least) is an actual physical exercise that requires a lot of effort. I have no expectations of/for thank you, today, but that is a really directed choice for me. When I allow myself to have even the smallest of expectations, like he won't go AWOL or smoke pot, that's when I lose detachment because it's apparently guaranteed that even though I haven't voiced that expectation to him, he's going to blow it up anyway. Settling in my vocabulary holds a hint of acceptance and I absolutely positively do *not* accept this state of affairs. How are you holding up? You're in my thoughts, as always. [/QUOTE]
