[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 740479, member: 18958"] I don't see it as "couldn't handle." I see it more as "chose to not handle, as to not take the risk." Look. He is a realist. He has not handled things so good. He needs to protect his gains. He is doing that. Rome was not built in a day. I think there is a glass half full here. TL. Could he be doing a variant of the same thing with you, as he did with the job. Take control. He will leave first. Before you get the chance. You are the one leaving. He is taking control, cutting his losses by withdrawing. This seems to be his way of protecting himself at this point in his life. I can imagine how it feels, but these guys don't have much to give right now. He is martialing all of his strength and coping, to protect himself. He is not thinking of you. You will be OK on your trip. He will be OK. He is trying to chill. (He is probably a little bit worried. But that is OK.) You will be OK. When I take trips I start worrying about dying. AND I CANNOT DIE. Because of my son. Who would protect him? My son cannot get far enough away from this nut-case behavior. You will be fine. He will be fine. Have a great trip. PS Your son sounds like he is doing very well. [/QUOTE]
