Angel - things sound like there on the right track for you. Your H sounds like he's willing to try working with you, that's great.
My sitch is the same only I'm starting to WAW from him, I don't see us getting to any point of working things out, my h's depression gives him a terrible view on life.
I will keep reading for inspiration! Good luck, share your efforts that work!
The past can't be ahead of you in the future. You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction. What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
