Hi all,
I took the redeye last night so I am a bit loopy today even after a nap. It was a good visit in many ways but also hard. My dad is really failing and every time I do see him I wonder if this is the last time... I suspect this time it might really be. He is so frail both physically and mentally... Because he was in their health care section he could not come down for meals with us so I got some good time with his girlfriend and also his step daughter (technically my step sister although we were all adults when our parents go married). And I saw a good friend.... so all that was good. However it is good to be home.
Talked to my sons therapist today. I like her over the phone. My husband is going to go visit in a couple of weeks... I am not going to go. Their relationship is easier than my relationship with my son. It sounds like my son is struggling with some ambivilence... and he is not getting to some of the major underlying issues. So she asked my permission to let him know that I had told her about some of them... of course I said yes. He might be angry with me but I don't care if he is angry I just want him to get at the things that prevent him from real recovery.
At least he is still there.....
