Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it! Thanks for the link, Pelican. I'm looking forward to reading it.
amy55, I never looked at it that way. Validation. Hmmm. something to ponder.
Learn2Live, It is hard to recognize that it is the same person, when the two pieces are as different as night and day. But I see your point. I'm really scared for him right now. I'm scared, but I'm not scared FOR me.....I know I will be okay. It's just scary being on your own after so long. But I truly am scared for him....
Probably right, I am addicted to him....for so long my life has been all about taking care of him and picking up the pieces that it has become routine. something I need to break, I guess.
I appreciate your prayers and well wishes. I really need help in being strong today.
