[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 619906, member: 17269"] Child, Recovering has said what I was going to say. You have done all you can to prepare. You have prepared to deal with expectations we THINK he will have that he has no right to have, but maybe he will have them anyway...or not. You have pondered and felt your way, and been practical and you've filtered advice and observations from all around you. You are as ready as you can be...now try try try not to exhaust yourself looking for the last perfect plug, the one that doesn't exist. I agree that you should try to avoid the situation of being face to face with him and having to disappoint him. That is why SO takes my difficult children calls and I do not. I do not trust myself to speak with him. I do not want to expose myself to the world of sadness and vulnerability that comes with that. If your SO can answer the door and you can stay in the bedroom...agree on that. If that doesn't feel right, leave town and leave the backpack and note out front. As Recovering said...you have done a terrific job. Try to be in the moment now, not in the future. The future will come soon enough. And we'll be here with you when that happens too.
