Yeah, I thought so too.


Thank you, FY, for that reminder.

I need to work on timing. I'm pbly missing some times when H would be more receptive than others.

So true. Thank you again for spelling it out.

I read your post and Regretful's just before going out with H for supper. We actually had a nice time. It was light-hearted and enjoyable. I'm sure that I wouldn't have managed that without this board. Today could easily have deteriorated into an ugly fight. I even think he did see his cousin because he did have some anecdotes about her. Maybe I was being paranoid...

I feel that I came close to some major backsliding today but avoided it thanks to the people and principles here. Thank you very much, all of you.
