Today feels pretty much the same as before the drama of the last ten days. H called a couple of times, last time was early evening when he said he'd be home for supper after a quick visit to his friends at the machine shop. Three hours later...he's not here and no word. Normal.
I've been thinking a lot about how to establish and maintain boundaries without 'pushing' or 'pressuring' him. He has demonstrated by past actions a tendency to do the absolute minimum necessary to keep me where he wants me. And he obviously has no qualms about lying to me.
So, any ideas on how I can encourage positive steps without dropping the issues that have to be resolved for me?
