That is sooo awesome that you guys are communicating like that. Once changes like that come to him you'll be amazed at the guy he is going to be. He's able to share feelings he couldn't do that before, I'm really proud of him and you for sticking it out (can I give you my W's number :)).
Keep doing what you're doing I'm so happy for you right now.
