Is this piecing?

That's good that they're helping. It gives you a chance to show your changes to him like you just did and show that with a little change from him (the meds and not turning into Mr. Rage-o-holic" at the drop of a pin) and a little change from you (hearing him when he calls for the time out and backing off) that the whole dynamic of the "bad" part of your R can be massively changed.

Seriously, this is fab and a huge baby step! Now, I'm sure it's not going to work so wonderfully every time, but practice on both your parts makes perfect.

Oh, and I amend what I said about dropping it. *If* it comes up in MC or something comes up about you guys taking a step back when things escalate, I think a small pat on the back for him would be appropriate in that environment.
