Root, thanks for sharing your goals. I have been keeping similar ones as well. One day soon I am goind to post them to get feed back. Anyone else is welcome to do the same.

NikB, did not think your first post was negative, just insightful on what to try and avoid. I, too, made those same mistakes the first time he came back after being gone for 2 weeks. He was a mess, I was a mess, the whole thing sucked. We did not have time to work on our individual issues, so things only got worse. I am in a much better place. Thank you for the warning though. I will take at look at SallyM's thread as well. Thanks for the heads up.

I also REALLLLLLLYYYYYYY appreciate you saying that his signs are similar to what your H did. I gives me strength and encouragement that I am doing the right things. Today he was all smiles, wished me happy birthday many times, told me I looked good and even refered to me as "Mom" instead of "your Mother" to S. After I left I called him because I forgot to ask him something. When he answered the phone he said, "Well Hello birthday girl!" in his cheeriest voice. MOre babysteps.

Ready, I read what I think is your current thread and I have not been able to tell exactly what your sitch is with your W. Post me your link, I would love to pop over there as well.
