Thanks TC!!! Such kind words.
I wish we lived closer also!!!
There've been many times over the last while when I've remembered your words that you'd 'hang in there' if I would. :-)
They've actually helped me find the emotional energy to cope.
I was thinking them the day before he found the apt & was thinking 'well that's good that TC's emergency has resolved itself. It'll be easier now, I suspect for her to keep her part of the deal. Even though it's still hard for me, it's still a bargain.
(It's not as if I'd actually DO anything. But sometimes my mind goes in that direction. Almost as a wish.) But somehow, knowing I've made an agreement with someone changes the way I feel generally. It's almost as if someone has said to me 'hey, I know how bad my pain is & can maybe imagine how bad yours is - let's agree to both carry on coping with it, ok?' & that's really helping.
I know there are tons of lovely people here who are also in terrible pain. But for me, the making an actual commitment with you helps me. :-)
My mind is still pulled to what-if-this; what-if-that; will he ever be able to get & hold a job; etc etc. But NOW at least I know that YES - he WILL have a nice place to live & having a year rental agreement is Super icing on the cake for my peace of mind.
Thanks for your support.
love, Kath
