[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 681945, member: 19905"] I am so, so, so sorry. For me, this is when it is ALWAYS the hardest. When they are in the middle of their storms, we get used to the rain, don't let it affect us as much. But when the skies are blue and we take in those deep, hopeful breaths, when we begin to relax and enjoy the weather and believe the storms might be passing (or at least lessening), a tornado sweeps in and destroys everything. That is when it always feels like the biggest punch in the gut. I try to find the blessing in everything, and at least you found out before you helped him, before you put yourself out for him again. It would hurt so much more had this come after you had stuck your neck out - or at least it always does for me. It is his bed. He is choosing to lay in it, pull the covers over his head, and refuse to acknowledge the outside world, much like a school child will lay in bed and yell they don't want to get up and go to school. We don't get to play "hookie" from life without consequences. [/QUOTE]
