the calls home can be hotbeds for emotion. We are on the outside and sometimes need comfort and validation. It's extremely difficult to stand back and keep taking care of everything - but - it is what it is. Please try to avoid making any changes while he is away. It is also a really stressful thing to not be able to deal with something that is happening 'outside' while he is inside focusing on recovery. Maybe keeping a journal of your feelings may help as you go thru this ? We are here any time you need to share your fear or vent. You are not alone. Hugs, Joie
