[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 632840, member: 17542"] Hang in there JKF. Try to remember this: If he asks you to do anything, say: I don't know, honey. I'll think about it. That is kind and honest. And it buys you time. Other good things to say: 1. Oh. 2. That would be hard. 3. I understand. 4. Okay. 5. That sounds interesting/sad/hard/good/unbelievable. 6. I love you. 7. I don't know. 8. I'm not sure. At one point I had these things written down, doublespaced in bigger type, and printed out and in my purse. I would whip it out, go over it, get it fresh in my mind, and was better able to deal. You are going to get through this. And there may be some good moments, JKF. I hope there will be. I am glad you got him some shirts and shorts. That is a good thing to do sometimes. Warm hugs. We are here for you. [/QUOTE]
