*hugs*

-wraps self up in hugs-

I'm more worried about warinbear right now than I am about me. He has a history of being to willing to blame himself and/or be upset when he can't help. In this case, his work schedule makes helping with emotional crap that the kids and Catchild don't need to deal with exceedingly difficult.

This, love, is your reminder that you are helping by spending time with me.
