Thanks so much snodderly for your reply. I haven't taken on board alot of the advice from both yourself, HB, vinlad etc from the archives and I am quite well read on MLC.
I am finding things very confusing at the moment as I think H has taken a bigger step forward through the tunnel. I know he is still in replay, but I have also heard from others, many signs of depression and withdrawal too.
I agree with what I have read, that it is so hard not to push the MLCer when you see signs of movement through the tunnel. He just seemed so very relaxed and confortable in the house. He even payed me a compliment lol
