[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 616728, member: 17269"] These are all helpful responses. Somewhat to my chagrin (chagrin at oneself is good sometimes, forces a rueful smile!) the choice has been out of my hands. He has not contacted me since the day he got out of jail 5 days ago, when he told me he would do all the things he promised "Thursday". I assume he feels at least a little uncomfortable or ashamed, or maybe I am just not in the picture for him at all...in any case, this has turned into a case of "you can't fire me I quit.". Kathy, I like your approach. If he does call me and I am still in this place of turmoil about him, I will let him know that I am hurt and disappointed, and that I need a break. I think setting a deadline for the end of the break seems humane and like solid parenting. Thank you all again. [/QUOTE]
