Just for a few hours. But, I cant trust him not to do something stupid. He already has a few times when I have been home and he has hurt himself. Ticks me off but he hates being helpless and feeling like a burden. I have got to get this stuff straightened out. Emotionally I have had enough and I am still facing weeks of recovery for him.
"get away, just for a few hours"... probably the best excuse for a meeting I ever heard, perhaps easier there than at home (I'm joking, ok?).
There is a part in the ACA 'Solution' read at meetings. I remind myself of this often when like you I've had enough (emotionally), but have to get this straightened out.... The bit I refer to is very simple and is found in many places it is......
One word......
SLOWLY
Be good to yourself, my friend.
