Thanks everyone for the kind words and support. I know that I'm not out the woods yet. I am seeing improvement, but I know from past experiences to take it one day at a time.

Last evening he called and said that he had gotten a call from one of his out of town jobs. It seems that they needed him there by 6:30 am this morning. It is a two and half hour drive which means he needed to leave by 4:00 am. He said he should be back in plenty of time to make it to the ballgame tonight. In the past he would not have called me to let me know this. It seems he is really working on his communication now.

Something else that is positive he keeps referring to "us" or "we" now when he talks. I haven't heard that in a while. Last night he was talking about a couple we know who are going through some rough times. They both mismanage money, but still continue to spend freely. They left to go to FL yesterday and often go out of town. H made the comment, "We have the money to do things like that, but we don't just throw our money around" to which I replied, "Yes, I like to save for a rainy day". It is the first time in long time I have heard him say "our money".

I do not plan to push him for a time when he plans on moving back home. I have found with him, the more you push the harder he pushes back. I think the best thing I can do is to continue to be my ownself and let him know that I'll be okay no matter what. I won't do this by words, but I'll continue to let my actions speak.
