I feel that you have dipped your toes in to the water .. you don't know if there are goldfish or sharks lurking beneath but for now, the water is warm and soothing ... enjoy it. Deal with the marine life later :o)

The MLC means H can go from enjoying pleasant walks, coffee and dinner to distance overnight. My challenge is to keep the pressure off to allow him to come to the realisation that he belongs with our family. I think deep inside he knows it but his pride stands in the way along with a host of other stuff.
