Jerri, It takes a lot of time to notice the baby steps. The old saying "a watched pot never boils"....this is very true if your h is in mlc. That's why it's very important to pick up the pieces of your life and find a way to live it to the fullest.
Mlc doesn't happen over night....it takes many, many years to finally fester to the surface. The same will apply to the healing process. They do surface periodically and stick their heads out for a peek to see if you are still waiting right where they left you. They test you and then disappear time and time again. Baby steps will come, but on their time clock, not yours.
Come to DC, enjoy the beautiful weather we will have beginning tomorrow through Sunday. See the flowers and trees blooming and just enjoy your time w/your youngest. Leave your h in his dark little hole to turn into a mushroom. In time, he will poke his head out and communicate w/you. For now....do what you've been doing...focusing on you, your family and staying busy.
