[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 574311, member: 15801"] Thanks for all your thoughts... gosh I slept well last night. The best I have slept in months. And it made me realize today how hard it has really been these last few months, and although I have held it together and found ways to go on with my life it is this underlying stress and trauma that you learn to live with. And here I thought my bouts of insomnia were due to menopause!!! LOL. But gosh it makes me dread the thought of being back in that spot again and you all know as well as I do that that is of course a real possibility!!! I know I just have to enjoy this time of peace that I have as much as possible. I talked to him on the phone the last two days and he does sound good. Told me a couple stories of how he got by being homeless, ate a lot of apples and granola bars that people would give him. Sounded really pretty miserable. He talks somewhat disparagingly of the homeless and I asked how he differentiated himself... and he said I shaved whenever I could and took showers whenever I could!! So II am really hoping this is a new start and that he will really get help. Now he knows without a doubt that we will let him be homeless..... but gosh I hope we dont ever have to do that again! In hindsight it really is awful. TL [/QUOTE]
