But isn't that one of our goals? To recognize what/why things didn't work and resolve to find a better solution? So, I WILL be strong enough to keep my mouth shut, not control outcomes, not be critical, I will acknowledge and validate his point of view, allow him to feel comfortable to express his feelings, hopefully inspire having fun together, I will create a welcoming environment that he will want to be part of....... And, I will learn to let go of what I can't control.

Very good points. Just be careful to do these things for you and not for an expected outcome from H. Also, (and I speak from experience on this one) don't allow the process to let you become a doormat for whatever H wants. You have a right to want certain things as well and it can sometimes just be a matter of how you communicate your wants/needs vs. what those wants/needs actually are.

You're learning curve seems to be going much better than mine did so take a moment to reflect and be grateful for the good things you're doing.
