[QUOTE="JKF, post: 589126, member: 12470"] RE: I can't wait to have a "me" day next week once this is all over and everything is said and done. I'm a total mess and I need this to end. I feel like I'm going insane. I feel like since he's returned I've gotten tangled up in this whole thing again 10 fold. It's so much harder to detach when your child is *right there* in front of you deteriorating. It was much easier when he was in PA and I didn't have to see him so often. I'm trying not to worry but I'm having extreme anxiety over all of the "what ifs" that may or may not happen during his trip. So first, "what if " difficult child loses his ID before he leaves next week? I know he definitely has one bc he showed it to me but he gets [I][B]really[/B][/I] agitated when I ask to hold onto it until the flight. Uggghh! Next, difficult child is a little on the heavy side at moment. His weight fluctuates but he hasn't been eating properly and has a tendency to binge eat. Although homeless, he still finds a way to do that. Definitely has gained some weight over the last couple of years. So "what if" he doesn't fit in the plane seat? (I *think* he will but he may need a seat belt extender). "What if" he misses his connection in Phoenix? "What if" he can't find his bus once in SLC? Ugggh! I am seriously freaking out. He was taken to Safe Haven today and will stay there until his trip next Tues. I hope he stays out of trouble. "What if" he steals? "What if" he gets kicked out? These "what ifs" are seriously driving me nuts and I literally can't stop obsessing. Usually I can calm myself down but I'm at the point of no return right now. [/QUOTE]
