Just make sure that "dropping the rope" doesn't mean you cut off communicating with H about problems, etc.

You're right, Hud. Thanks for the reminder. There's a balance between my taking ownership for my own stuff, dropping the rope so he can do what he needs to do AND feeling as though I can bring things up...of course, it's the latter that I struggle with the most, I think.

Of course, bringing things up in a respectful and positive way does let h know that I trust him to work with me to solve problems...that's good stuff!
