My hubby had a major blowout this weekend. He suddenly wanted to invite his parents for dinner, which I saw as a positive step since he hasn't wanted much to do with them for the past 2 years. Dinner started out ok, but when we got to 'are you coming to our house for Christmas" it quickly turned ugly. Heaven forbid you try to pin a MLC down! I tried not to get in the middle. They certainly know he has withdrawn from them, but they don't yet know about OW. So any type of 'what have you been up to?" questions get kind of awkward. I have been DB-ing for past 8 months and have seen improvements in him. However when his folks left in a huff its like he regressed months back. He seemed to spend most of the rest of the weekend 'chatting' with the OW on the computer. Any attempts I made to draw him out were like talking to an empty shell, so I left him alone. So one giant leap forward (reaching out towards parents, trying to resolve past issues) although unfortunately it backfired (parents don't want to admit mother previous mental illness while he was growing up caused rift). I'm not sure how to manage the holidays and my dissapointment with him racing back into the tunnel.
