[QUOTE="seek, post: 714335, member: 22002"] Thanks everyone! I am hard-headed. My dad used to call me "knothead." I did share a one sentence info with him about the independent contractor thing - then I awoke in the middle of the night worrying about insurance - so sent him a link to eligibility . . . Once I get to a certain level of panic, it is better for me to share a link or something - then hopefully, I will be able to let it go. It's hard-wired survival stuff for me (my survival linked to his survival). I know everyone has different views about that, but my experience & research over the years informs me and I trust my instincts, pretty much. Today, he is going to his boss's house to work and then hang out. Then the people he's staying with are house-sitting elsewhere, so he has privacy - I worry about him staying sober AND I know there is nothing I can do. He also posted on FB that he is "struggling" cuz a friend died. So today I will take care of myself - do some stuff around the house - have no plans - my family lives elsewhere. I am used to being alone (or with my dog), so no biggie. Hopefully, I won't worry later on, but if I do, I will be okay. I have done therapy - gotten all I can from it - what I need most is support - people who understand what it is like to deal with these kinds of problems. That, to me, is more valuable than anything, and this is a very good group (not too active, but the quality is great!). Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
