My parents are still on guard, my mom keeps talking about others saying, "well he seemed like a good guy original, but your H did as well, so we cant judge a book by its cover...".
They were both disappointed by him but right now, they struggle so much with their health issues and H has been there for me and them, they are content with the way he treats everybody. My kids say often to my mom how they feel and she reports to me all the time how they say they are so much happier now, so I guess that affects them as well...
I need to work on not being afraid of his reactions regarding little things.I have this fear from the time before he moved out that I was walking on eggshells. In general, I feel I am a good partner right now.
I thank you ALL for supporting me through this journey. We still have long ways to go and I cant say I am sure we will make it to the end, but things look so much better and they keep improving daily. K
