[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 756501, member: 19617"] Hello 200Meters, I have been following along the past months. I must say I appreciate and am inspired by the way you have been reporting your situation is a very realistic, rational yet seemingly unemotional manner, even showing how you can see some things in a humorous light. (I am not dismissing, however, that surely like all of us, you have the deep pain, despair, sense of loss overtakes you at times.) I also enjoy the quotes you shared on your profile page. You have not said much about how Ms. 200Meters is taking it all. I am certain that your strength and support and understanding about the situation is a comfort and relief to her. It appears you are taking the lead in keeping the home front stable, secure for Ms200 and strong. ([I]I presume in Israeli culture, is this the traditional way, for the husband to take this lead role[/I] (?) It is comforting to see this, as for myself, I sorely lack in this type of support from my spouse, my difficult son’s father ~~ As such, feeling very alone, overwhelmed, as so many others here. I am encouraged for Ms. 200M that you have a side of you that projects as a stalwart tower. We all are learning a lot from your input to this safe site. While I have not posted of my own son’s situation for a long time, I am here at the forum day by day, trying to get built up, encouraged, strong enough to take each day at a time. I have not posted of my own situation for a long time, as there has not been much very good to report on my son’s situation. Although for myself … I am letting go, continue detachment, grow in understanding and acceptance of loss.
