Things are developing rather nicely at the moment. Sorry I have not taken the time to update much lately. I'll try to forgo my typical mile-long post and cut to the meat of it if I can.
Over the past few weeks we have had some really, really positive discussions and have spent time with our S. Her mom was in town this past week and we had a nice catch-up talk.
Now that my parents are in their own place, things have taken a much better turn and (as noted) we have discussed spending a few days a week under the same roof - mine, specifically. Last night was the first night we slept in our bed together since the bomb date.....naturally, that was after we all made dinner together and put our son to sleep. It was pleasant, but admittedly felt odd. I really had gotten used to sleeping alone! I'm not complaining, though.
As she left for work she said "I left my toiletries in the master bathroom.....I didn't know if you wanted me to sleep here again tonight, too.".....I simply said "come on back".
Granted, I have learned through trial and error that things can always go up or down - but things are in a positive spot right now after over a year and a half. She is in a place where she wants to work on R - that is good. But again, I know this is neither over nor easy. Still a lot of work to do and we both know it.
