[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 122073, member: 3626"] Another one saying make it as close to "normal" as possible. Since he's visiting on a school day, try to make it as close to real as possible -- meal times scheduled around school times (and every day food -- not the good, happy, holiday type meals); bedtime either camp or school time; activities geared toward what you would normally do on a weekday, maybe even have the camp send some homework for him to do. The more real it is, the better you'll be able to gauge how he is doing. 24 hours isn't long but it's a start. In the meantime, how are you doing? Depression getting any better? Drinking cut down (or, better yet, quit)? This is the time for you to get yourself together. The stronger, healthier, happier you are, the better you are as a parent. Good luck on this visit. Hope it is a whopping success! [/QUOTE]
