Lois,

I have worked on my list of ways he's perfect and the ways he's not.

Damn good question girl!

I would have to see a consistent pattern of him moving forward, even if it were in baby steps. He's been rather stagnant a while, but has been moving forward more the last month.

In the last year he lost his mother, which was his best friend. He's been grieving, and really lost with out her. At times I do believe he's going through the anger stage of grief. He was seeing a counselor for the grief, but he stopped. He admits that after his mom passed, he just got stuck in a rut. He admits he needs to get out of that rut but it's taken some big things to wake him up to get rolling again.

Perhaps I need to just be more patient and just see what happens.
