Snodderly - I was a little bemused by the lengths h was prepared to go to in order to have the photos. Mine wanted the lot, and there are a lot of me + the kids!!!
He is showing signs of movement: actually I see wanting the photos as quite positive. He was also agitated that a book he wanted that eldest son had given him 3 and a half years ago, and which he had never read, was not there. Son had taken it back thinking his dad didn't want it. Phone calls at all hours to son, agreement to ship book . . . . It isn't out of print!!! Now what was that all about.
No I am not obsessing about it. There are lots of odd things going on, and real signs that he wants to re-establish relationships with a whole range of people that he has largely ignored for nearly two years. He is also dressing like himself again, and has a really good haircut. Not the overlong horror he was sporting, which he thought suited him.
I see flashes of anger the moment he can't have his own way. But also some kindness - he sent me a rare book when I told him he could keep my copy. Ohhh they are so strange. and yes, so lost to themselves.
