I am really nervous about this.<P>His car has broken down and he needs someone to pick him up and take him to get it. It will also be ready on Tuesday. Should I offer to help as I am collecting children anyway and if so how should I handle it.<P>Any advice welcome<P>A

Annie:<P>This would seem to be the most natural thing in the world to do him a favor. If you're in Plan A, this follows guidelines wonderfully...being helpful, his friend.<P>Of course, expect for him to refuse...self protection for him...and don't get upset about it...at least you offered to help.<P>I'll bet you are nervous after three months. Remember understanding, acceptance and patience...should be the MB mottos.<P>This is your opportunity..you can do it.<P>Buffy

Blew it big time today.<P>Told him I loved him and missed him and would never give up. He told me that leaving was the hardest thing he ever had to do. I told him I knew he wasn't happy and he said that I could not know that as he was happier than he had ever been. He said I was wasting my time but that was up to me.<BR>I asked if he missed me he said he missed his friend. Is this repairable or have I blown it big time.
