Well, of course, that was my impulse... fortunately my H came-to within a short period of time there after, but I foresee the possibility of this happening again without him waking up for awhile. Despite this one incident, my H is an excellent father and I doubt my step-son suffered any particular damage or will even still remember it in a few days. Like I said, the same thing could have happened if he'd just been really tired. I've known exhausted parents to "pass out" at times from perfectly natural, sober causes and the kids seem to manage for those few minutes "alone" just fine.
But anyway... regardless... it was just an example of how I'm not always sure where to draw the line and the boundries when kids are involved. I'm still trying to figure it out. Maybe I should just go with my instinct.
