An honest introspection that addresses the delicate nature of all intimate relationships. I appreciate you sharing this.
As for everything else, it IS a LOT. A crazy lot. And yet, of course you took it on. (I do the same) This is how we create our lives, from the future perfect. In the present, it can be overwhelming. Your level of awareness will help you adjust and find a new equilibrium with your vision and determination. It’s more than okay to take time off from Post Nomad (- in case you need to hear that. ) This holiday season is going to stay with your son for his entire life.
Perhaps when the time is right, you might share an insight into his experience as a first time young transplant into a new culture during the holiday season How does he integrate this into his sense of home? I suspect this introspection is already part of your conversations, as Im sure he’s learning from you how to pay attention to his own truth.
You know this and I’ll say it anyway: focus on what’s important right now in this moment. Your readers will still be here and our experience together will be better for it.
Happy Holidays, Russell. I was in Barcelona for Christmas and new years back in 1997 and it was, well, quite wonderful. All the best to you and your son, Jan
I had a relationship break down almost 6 months ago. For some reason the mourning of it being over is much more heart-wrenching now than it was in the beginning. It’s a weird place to be because it goes against the conventional wisdom that time heals all wounds. This is what I am struggling to make sense of now.

Thanks for all of this Jan! Yes, I should write about that at some point.

Thank you for writing this, Russell.
Thanks for reading Jonathan - yea, sometimes it feels ok and then it doesn't. Processing these things can be weird like that.
