thanks so much all. atgo, I agree completley, regardless of us I hope he does get something out of IC and that it does help him as much as mine has helped me. I hope that for him more than almost anything at this point.

he has already emailed me today looking for help in finding a MC and an IC, which I will gladly do. will ask for some recs to help him get started to find his IC and such, but in the end, he'll have to talk to them/find one he is comfortable with/make the appt. I think that's a nice compromise. and he seems damned eager to get started with it all. which is a good thing.

he is offering/doing a lot for us right now. am learning to give a bit myself. I have to say it is downright weird talking to him...I swear it is. I'm so used to avoiding talking to him/keeping everything to email/keeping our personal lives separate that having chats with him, having him call and check on my day or to run things past me is throwing me off completely.

and I will also say that I still am waiting for that shoe to drop still. and maybe it will...who knows. but I'm trying to open up a bit and give it a chance. if the shoe drops, well, will deal with it then. going to continue to tread carefully in the meantime, but also going to loosen up a bit as well.

still not comfortable moving to piecing, but maybe someday. for now, just riding the wave and seeing where this one goes.
