Hi Rabbit, Good to hear from you as always. Things are travelling along reasonably smoothly and I am following my therapist's advice. It seems good, especially compared to the past. H is receptive to co-parenting and is very supportive of me as the primary parent, is working towards positive relationships with extended family and friends and is really listening to me. He accepts the majority of invitations I issue and gives reasons for non-acceptance. He's dipping his toe in the water but occasionally it's still a little too cold and he runs away. The length of this run has reduced considerably and it's usually the next day that he shows his face again. I can see that he is considering possibilities but this takes such a long time!!
As always I am impatient and I am tired of initiating. Mostly we're having dinner at each other's houses and fairly casual conversations. I just want to start having a social life with him; nothing too elaborate but just dinner or movies or drives; things to look forward to together. He makes noises about doing these things but they never seem to come to fruition and at this moment I am tired of being the initiator.
I know this sounds whiny when others would so love to be in my position but I have been at this a VERY long time!!
