hi AAAAA
"I'd be perfectly content to have him stay here forever, but I know that's not in his best interest.
I think he’s got to go out and meet people."
i can imagine his stress with a sudden change... how about part-time? ease into it.. after awhile and with support, he may find his niche'
i support the idea of family support also ... im here for my mom 5 days a week... she'd get by without me for a few days, so, i get breaks and so does she
i dont really feel that ive lost something... i feel ive gained something...
best of luck
