Tawnya - thank you so much. I know you are in a tough spot right now. I will get over to your thread to check on you.
Update
So H and I are set for a movie on Christmas day at 2:20 in the afternoon. I am very happy about this babystep. I have been spending as much free time as I have (not much with mom and bro in town) reading on MLC as I can.
I really have got to accept that this is going to take a very long time. I need to just be happy with what I have compared to where I was. H appears to be willing to have some sort of friendship.
My gut is telling me that for the foreseeable future, our meetings need to be light and fun, period. While I have not initiated R talks, H did and I participated. I do not want him to associate visits with me with nothing but serious talks.
