H told me he "will goes halves with me on a tree if I want one that bad."
Sounds like H is noticing that other people exist, and can be affected by him, this is good. He is still depressed, and doing the adolescent "ok, we can do X if you insist" sort of thing, but sees (for the moment) that it isn't going to kill him to help someone else be happy. Let's hope he continues to peek out of the tunnel...
As far as being a Mom, if all else fails, there is adoption. I was adopted from Children's Home right there in Pittsburgh. My adoptive parents ARE my parents, though I have wondered about my biological parents throughout the years, even if I could meet them (I am old enough where they kept that confidential in those days), they would NOT be seen as my "real" parents, if that helps at all. You will make an excellent parent! Let me know if you want anything more info on this.
You know you are inspiring, I have asked myself many times "Where is the "hrm humor" that can be found in W's behavior atm?" Just keep being you, because you're awesome!
