Thanks so much for the kind words of encouragement!!!!
Who knows what's working right now, you know? I don't trust him, I don't trust the situation and I don't even trust my own judgment. Given all of that, I just try to stick to the book and the advice as closely as possible.
He called first thing this morning. He's trying to get home a day early but it doesn't look like that will work out for him. Part of me is happy about that because I feel like I'm at peace for the moment instead of feeling like some sort of circus act. I was trying to explain that to my mom this weekend, but she is definitely not happy about my attitude. My mom is very much in favor of us working this out. That's a good thing. But she feels that I should not be doing some of the things that I am doing. She feels that if he is moving closer to me, that I should respond more. I'm trying to tell her that 1) I can't at the moment 2) Absolute wrong thing to be doing. She's acting out of love and I know that so I don't blame her. But its hard sometimes when people don't always understand what you're up to and how you're feeling.
