[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 545553, member: 14557"] DDD, you hit the nail on the head. This really is my issue, not difficult child's or this girl's. I can't fault difficult child or even this girl for it. When I had first nightmare about this and told my husband, he really didn't understand the problem. difficult child is very clearly alive and at that time he was even in the next room and keeping enough noise to make it very clear that he wasn't dead. husband said my problem was too vivid imagination. And he may have a point. But that is not all that is. I think these dreams have a lot to do my overall anxiety, my general worry for difficult child and just plain habit to fear for him. I think I saw my first nightmares about his death before he was born. Him getting seriously ill as a baby didn't help at all, or him being very accident prone after that. So these are not first nightmares about dead difficult child (some reason I very seldom have had a nightmare about easy child dying, maybe two or three ever) and that is something that clearly is my issue. Anxiety, stress, whatever. Still it will be difficult seeing this girl Monday. I'm sure I can do polite but busy and distant, but that will be different from before and she may notice me behaving differently. I would prefer not anyone noticing anything, but I doubt I can manage as chatty and friendly than before. [/QUOTE]
