H and I are quite distant from one another, with high walls, but we see each other every day. And there is starting to be some normalizing. H has told a joke twice and has smiled a couple of times at things that I've said. Babysteps!
FM - I have been following your sitch. You have so much strength. Babysteps are great. At the same time in my sitch I am very cautious as these babysteps may or may not bring me closer to busting the divorce. Odds are not in my favor. Regardless, these babysteps do bring me closer to providing a more healthy environment for our kids.

It's something that I think of as something that is more comfortable for me, and something that normalizes things for our children. I don't want things to be tense and strained indefinitely. I'm showing leadership in how we treat one another.
At the bare minimum this is what I am striving for.
