I think you just said something that will help you get through this.

Other times he's like a frightened rabbit that has to run and hide.

I think this is a great way to think of it! (Ask Ali, though I think we may use a hedgehog with her.) When you think of it like that, you realize that it is going to take time, and that you have to let him come to you. And, he'll get skittish and back off, just when you think he's made it.

You sound way better today! I'm glad.
