(I know some of you cringed when you read that title. I know it's almost ALWAYS something about phone calls that creates problems with me and T. This is different, I promise
 )ok, so I called T earlier today when I was in the middle of a situation with my boys (14 and 16) and was just really, really at the end of my rope. I left her a message, and then found some support elsewhere, and dealt with the issue. Sort of forgot about having called her, but then when I was driving back from taking the kids to their dad's for the weekend, T called me back. I answered but just asked if I could call her in a little while, since I was driving. She said ok, that was it. That was probably an hour ago and I'm home now and I'm tired and there is no big crisis going on and I just really don't feel like calling T, or that I have anything I need to talk to her about tonight. So, my question: should I call her just to tell her I'm ok, or just not call? If I call, I'm afraid I will be disrupting her Friday night. If I don't call, I'm afraid she will be worried about me. I'm also maybe kind of afraid that if I don't reinforce the fact that she did call me back, then next time she might not. thoughts/opinions/etc?

I would definitely call, say thank you so much for calling me back, but I talked to so-and-so and I'm okay now. That's happened between me and my T.
Especially because of the recent situation where she was so scared, she'd probably rather hear from you than not. And I bet she'll be proud that you were able to work through what you needed to!

I think it would be good to call her back. To let her know you are okay and managing well.

thanks, I'll call her now before it gets any later. Maybe I will get her voicemail. Not that I don't WANT to talk to her, but I just don't really have much to say at the moment.
PS ok, I called her. It was short and sweet. She told me to be sure to take care of ME this weekend, and to do things that fill my tank up. And to stay away from the alcohol, because alcohol depletes your tank. Then she told me to have a good weekend, and made to sure to add to call her if I want to. That little 60 second phone call made me feel really, really good.
