I wanted to elaborate on my answer.

For starters, I had to realize that only God can work on this and He has given me the strength and courage to be the following:

patient
kind
loving from a distance
a good listener

and most of all:

being consistent with my behavior.

I am not one day bashing him, the next being kind. I am the same at all times.

With those things I think it has helped me to cope with what H has been telling me. I want to be able to allow him to feel comfortable around me and in our home. He does not need any added pressure from anyone about what he has done.

I will allow him his space, as much as he needs.

It is those things and a lot of prayer that has been so powerful in this crazy adventure.
