The fact that H is starting to open up about things, his experiences, thoughts and such I think is a good sign, W did/does this in waves... talktalktalk...silence...talktalktalk...silence...
Almost like she has to get some out, then fall back, process, regroup, then get more out.
How he describes the "fog" lines up with what other mlc survivors have documented...W hasn't tried to describe it yet, just the depression feelings.
Keep listening, asking questions like you are, and I think you have a really good sense of when to back off, so trust your instincts.
I hope H resolves some things with his Dad as well, anything you can do to facilitate that? W's dad died before they resolved everything, and mine is getting up there, so I have been trying to resolve things with him, well, at least DB'ing him to keep sanity flowing with everyone...
You're awesome, keep going!! T^2
