I sense some further change in H. He is slowly but surely moving closer. My therapist suggested I disregard ow's existence as she is a crutch the same way alcohol or drugs maybe and he still needs her atm.
I do wonder about the status of the r with ow. I do know that as D was staying with H all week he did not see ow and when I returned H spent the time with me. I am all too aware that this is a long journey that offers no guarantees. For now, I am feeling a little more positive and I can step back a little, knowing he will seek me out.
