Update from Cas:
H worked until 7.30 pm last night. We had no contact since dinner the night before. He phoned D and reminded her of an interview on tv. That must have been as he left work. About an hour later he text me to ask after D (She has been overwhelmed with her workload lately). I replied that she was fine and was obviously feeling good as she had just finished a major assessment task. His next text was How was your day?. That was my big breakthrough for Sunday!!

Two other little points from last week: 1. H let me use his computer in his office to search the library database while he went away to get on with cooking dinner. 2. H left D and I in his house while he went to the store the other night. I even offered to go for him. These are just little steps but think they show he is developing trust.
