Cas, for some weird reason your post did not show up as new and I almost missed it . . . so glad I didn't.
Wise words from you. A little hurt could happen, but I have low expectations. It would be false to say none at all, as I am not looking for him to be hostile again. I hope and pray that he is finally through the rages. They no longer scare me however. And as you wisely note I am in self protection mode.
I would say our communication is guarded - we both know each other too well for it to be otherwise. We can read each other like a book. I couldn't 'read' him when he was fully in MLC at all: he was somewhere else. The dreams are telling me to be very careful though, but I am also dumping a lot of hurt and pain through them that I thought I had got rid of.
