What great news to come home to - your H is back home! As I caught up (54 posts) I had tears in my eyes...my boys wondered why mommy was crying at the computer.
They are happy tears for you, your DD and your H. I am sure that your willingness (okay, or "not any choice in the matter-ness") to give your H the time away meant a great deal to him.
If he truly is shutting down business and wiping slate clean of everything involved there, maybe he needed to privately grieve that part of what is now his past.
Now you can build a future together as a team. I loved HoldingOn's post with the tips listed - I am keeping a copy for myself. I hope to join your ranks sometime and as everyone else has said, the real work begins now.
Everything else was your DBing 101 and now you can move on the the advanced course! Yeah for you!
Good for you for allowing your D to have that catch-up time with your H. Kids do need the closeness while I find that nearness is okay for me sometimes.
I am just so proud of you and happy for you! Keep us posted so we can all learn from your example!

"Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative..."
Yeah for you!
