{{{{{{{{Susan}}}}}}}}}}}} I know how you feel. Seems that when it's family, it takes a higher toll on us... especially our kids. You know how it's been for me lately. We just need to step back and let them do as much for themselves as they can. Maybe you and hubby need to do it in shifts. That's what Jerry and I do. If I see that he's angry enough or worrying enough for both of us, I get busy doing something away from his so I don't have to hear or think about it. When Jerry quiets down, then it's my turn. LOL Not that I get much support from him unless I demand it, but oh, well.

We've decided to go away for Thanksgiving rather than kiss butt or raise a stink with our youngest. We're just gonna make it a "you and me" Thanksgiving and let the kids figure it out for themselves.

AND... I think the older we get, the more problems take it out of us. It takes us longer to recover.

You said your son is doing better... so it's time for YOU. Even if it's just a day or two, ok?
