Thanks Bluerain. I have nothing to be ashamed of in what I am doing. I am struggling with not protecting him, but still protecting me and the kids... Thanks for your thoughts about the sessions. It sure is a delicate balance to maintain! And, I think you are right about the pull back. I should prepare myself for that. That happened after our first session, and we had this really great conversation after the session. I wasn't prepared for it that time, and it blindsided me then. This time, I need to prepare myself and not let it throw me off. I have noticed that as a consistent pattern... every time there is any positive movement that could be good for the M, he pulls back.
