It was the most difficult thing to write about @Hopeful0304, but after the thread got bumped, and after reading some older posts about K2, I decided that I needed to leave it on the field… especially before I really do logoff one last time…
Cough. Don’t say it , @ChoatieMom… I know. 
Ugh- I got so much wrong - almost all of it, really. He takes full responsibility for everything that was within his control - obviously , but some of it was my fault, too - because now I know for certain that I heard only what I wanted to hear - and saw only what I wanted to see… and that’s very hard for someone like me to admit.
Just a quick - benign example ( for some much needed levity ) after all of this pain … I’ll just add - and not knowing what his major is, too, evidently! Thus- the exclamation point after English Major above - which was more for me than anyone else. Before he mentioned it in passing to someone at the dinner last Sunday- I thought his major was Psychology! Hey… in my defense ( like I have one at this point ) - there was a lot of back and forth going on there for awhile!
His response: Really, mom?
Husband: How could you not know that?
Followed up by a breezy text to me this morning - K2 : FYI - Your son is speaking to students interested in English Majors today. 
Seriously - It’s still all good but you can just shoot me now.
