[QUOTE="DDD, post: 583755, member: 35"] I, too, enjoyed your recapitulation of the visit. Surely sounds like it was curative in a number of ways. One thing I found myself thinking (and perhaps it is not true in your culture) but even full grown men often seek the comforts of childhood when they are solely in the company of their Mom...or sometimes Dad. My brother was an Air Force Colonel with lots of responsibilities and his own family. on the other hand when he and his family came to Florida to visit my parents he [I]always[/I] found the opportunity to lay on my parents bed for at least a few hours sharing with our Mom. My easy child/difficult child will be 26 this week and carries himself out in the world as a "full grown man" BUT at least once a week or so he finds a way to come visit me and share personal (less sophisticated) conversations. I tend to think that having a chance to retrogress a bit is hugely important to grown men under stress. Expectations at home are not as they are out in the world...or with girlfriend's and wives. My easy child law enforcement honcho son also seeks out those opportunities to be alone although he does not get them often as his wife is resentful of our bond. SO, lol, I think your son may have benefited greatly from the break and knowing he is loved. Fingers crossed it serves him well upon his return to his team. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
