Small positive steps # 5

This is very clever of you Kalni! So clever. Its great that he relaxed as the lunch went on. You reminded me that I wanted to make it ok for my BF too...my Dad was VERY angry at him over all this, but now he has depression, my Dad wants me to tell him to call anytime if he wants to talk and he will try and help him, like a father. I know my BF wont call, but it could make him see that he is still accepted. So thanks, I will try and broach this with him! And I think you were right to invite him and hopefully he also enjoyed being back in the bosom of your family?? It must have been nice for your children too? Was he still withdrawn, cool with you?

I think you are coping so well with "uncertainty" and holding your family together whilst he is still frozen to the spot. Things arent set to change until the beginning of April and end of April and then May I believe. I'm going to do some reading on this!
