    Sorry, I didn't mean to sound flippant....(stupid sammy talking about war zones)......what I meant to say really was - I kind of detach myself emotionally just before he goes away so that it doesn't bother me......

    xxx...enjoy your holiday.
    s'ok you didn't.
    I am better once he has gone i cry my eyes out dropping him off then come home and pull myself together and get on with it.
