[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 745954, member: 22877"] And on a perverse note, my son going back to Chicago could be the best thing for my husband and me...since he wouldn't be here all the time looking for free meals and a place to crash. Not that we begrudge him our food or sofa, but he's been making a regular daily or almost-daily thing and it's gotten to be too much. On the one hand, when he's here on a near-constant basis, it makes it difficult for me to get any work done or for my husband to fully relax. On the other hand, when he's here I know he's not out using...so when I don't hear from him at all for even one day (yesterday, for example) I tend to worry or assume the worst. I finally broke down and called him to see how he was doing, and I'm not sure if he would have even bothered coming by had I just let it alone and not called. But it's time for me to put my maternal thoughts on the back burner and go back to focusing on my husband's and my life and relationship. And maybe this is the reason I'm so calm and less upset than I would have thought I would be. [/QUOTE]
