[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 631218, member: 15801"] I am glad and also very aware that as we have talked a bit before have reacted to the trauma of it all...... yesterday when he didnt call I had this flash negative fantasy of my calling the place and being told it didn't happen.... and I had to fight this sense of panic. Then today my husband and I went to a lovely area for a nature walk and we were starting out and I noticed a missed call from difficult child. He doesnt yet have his cell phone at the place so it was the residents phone there... I tried calling back and no one picks up. So then again I went into this image of him calling that he had been kicked out. Logically I knew that was unlikely and that he would call back but it still put me on edge.... he did call back a while later (not too long into the walk) and he had forgotten to tell me that he had called the jail about his property (wallet and phone) and sent them a fax, and that I would need to call to set up a time when I can pick it up. (I am willing to do this since the jail is like 2 minutes from my house and an hour by car for him, much longer by subway or bus) But Phew that is good news, he followed through and made the call!! I know this is all do to the trauma of having been through this so many times. Somehow though I need to find ways to keep letting things go and when these things come up not letting them get me into a sense of panic. How do the rest of you do this? And the truth is given his history and pattern my fear of this is not totally unrealistic but it doesnt make any difference cause I still cant do anything about it.
