Fade To Black

Dave,

I got so far behind on you - sorry about that. WOW, what a rollercoaster of a week you've had.

I think you're doing really, really well. I bet the positives from your W have a lot to do with the pressure being off (of both of you).

As you know I'm kinda back on my own coaster right now - but remembering the first weeks and month or so after separation, it reminded me a lot of what you're describing. We had a lot of really hopeful, positive times together - followed not long after by H really detaching. It felt like a major rejection, like "What about those great times we just had??" - so just try to keep your expectations low. You've still got a long ways to go. But I am thrilled for how well things are going for you, and it sure sounds positive.
