Rebelson, I am glad you are out and about.  Even just running errands, doing something that isn't attached to them and their drama helps.  I hope you make some more time to do things just for you today.


I am glad you know he is safe.  I wish him the best in his recovery.


I do understand the obsessively checking where they are, what they said or meant, etc.  I sure have been there.  I can understand your Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) making it worse, but even without that contributing, I don't think willpower helps us stop trying to check and control, at least not in the long run.  We have to find ways to shift our focus.


I hope you and the new counselor click.  I have been going back to Al-Anon lately, and that is helping me a lot.  It helps to have a place of peace and understanding. Even if just for an hour, it is an hour where my brain takes a break from its endless spin cycle.


I think there is some great advice on this thread.  Darkwing, that was an honest and wonderful post.  Painful to read because I saw a lot of myself in it.  Thank you.  Your insight is very much appreciated around here.
