I have been hesitant to post anything but I need to process so...

In the past week h has responded to all my texts(always household or kid related), answered the phone when I call, said hello/goodbye, complimented my cooking, bought something specifically for me at grocery store, texted me a pic of him and dog, called to ask how a meeting at school went, apologized for saying I couldn't see step kids and acknowledged that was a hateful thing to say.

I don't know if the fog is lifting of If this is the calm before the storm.

Is it weird that I feel this was easier when he was mean all the time?

Now I feel like I have to learn to have no expectations all over again. I have to stop my mind from trying to figure out why. I have to keep reminding myself that his positive actions have nothing to do with me just like the negative don't.
