[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 502570"] You guys are killing me. I did all of difficult child's laundry during the month he was home. Made sure to fold it and use plenty of fabric softener so it would smell like "home". Not only because of the reminiscent feeling in me - but also because I was trying to trigger some happy reminiscence in him. Ridiculous. I had this crazy idea in the back of my head that if we could just let "home" wash over him - clean, sweet smelling sheets & laundry, home cooked meals, fireplace fires, baking cookies -- it would make him remember that he LIKED it here. Like GEE - my mom isn't a horrible monster after all. I think I posted earlier that I spent the morning sewing up the holes in his freshly washed gloves - racing to get them done before he left. And I am NO Mrs. Ingalls. And I think it made his abrupt, hateful departure hurt even moreso. But maybe it also drove home the fact that he isn't "that boy" anymore. He is a stranger. [/QUOTE]
