She has a computer, so it's not as though I won't have computer access! But I might not get around to it.
It's a 2 1/2 - 3 hour drive (depending on how fast ya drive). If I had the energy I'd drive, but I'd rather sit for an hour in a comfortable GO-bus, then take the ViaRail train from Union Station in Toronto. That's what I'm going to do. Leaving on Sunday, then coming back the next Sunday.
I had been feeling edgy about not being here 'for' my son during his challenge of coming to terms with exGF's return, how it might affect his life, etc. He's feeling somewhat better now - a fair bit, actually. Last nite he said that it's really difficult, but he's surprised that he's doing as well as he is. I think doing the 'guest speaker' at the CMHA family information meeting did wonders for him.
He's also looking at renting a house with a friend who used to live at the 'rooming house' where my son lived. That's in process. It triggers me big-time - I think due to that cat-pee-smell-apt situation in October that was so awful. I'm also anxious as it'll be tight financially for him until he gets work on top of his disability (he's allowed to make a certain amount on top of it).
I'm feeling edgy today & sorta anxious & depressed. I had been sick Tuesday & I think maybe it's not completely gone. Also went last nite to the Family (parents') Group. I usually go for the CBT one but got the weeks mixed up & it was just talking & sharing & I found it really upsetting. One lady's son is SO mentally ill right now. I think it stirred things up for me & last night son stayed up all night & didn't go to the YMCA training, as he'd planned to - I think that's bothering me a lot.
