You are only telling me what I already think. H has been working hard, he wants to be back with me, these things I know for sure and give him full credit for.
He is planning to join a step group, but yes he has been sharing step one with me since he started his recovery showing me that he is increasing his understanding of the problem and accepting it in stages which I think is normal. This is the problem, I think it is too early for him to deal with us until he is clearer about how to deal with himself.
I have been trying to sort out what is supportive but truely he did a lot to me and our M and I know I need more time without the day to day with his stuff. He doesn't understand that I walk a fine line between trying to stick up for myself and support him.
He takes my stance as a rejection which I have a hard time hearing him think that way about himself.
