Thanks, gg. I was considering looking some up, but I really don't know where we'll be even by the end of next week. My son's school is trying to make arrangements which would make it most advantageous to be in Houston. Several of my husband's coworkers currently are working at the Houston location, but word has it that the company may assign locations. They'd better do it in a darn hurry, because those kids really do need to be in school. And my work is making plans that will probably make it most advantageous for me to be at a completely different location altogether. And of course, I don't know if my therapist's shortish term or long term plans have changed.
But at least we both still have jobs. That's more than most people can say. At least one of my coworkers may not be coming back at all, because her husband was laid off by this and may get a job elsewhere.
I'm definitely looking into the possibility, if it's best for my therapist. And I might even call the hotline, although I'm sure they're busy with people in far direr straits than mine.
Two N.O. police officers have taken their own lives. They mayor is trying to get the remaining officers rotated out for a rest and evaluation. There are people far more in need than I am.
I'm also much stronger than I used to be, thank heavens. And thank my therapist. I'm not sure another therapist is what I need, or if it could approximate the comfort and safety I feel from even not particularly therapeutic fellow-evacuee contact from my therapist. But if it's best for him, and if he isn't planning on terminating me, I would certainly make those arrangements as needed.
I'm worried about my son, too. He's been remarkably blase about everything, but curled up in the corner crying over a reprimand from my husband today. He hasn't done that since he started seeing his play therapist. We tried to talk to him, but he's being his usual clamshell self. Sigh. I love that he tries so hard to be good, but it takes such a toll on him.
