Being consistent is key. Validating him is like food for his soul. It will take time for him to see it's the real thing and not a gimmic to get him back. The WAS has a fear if they return to the LBS it will be the same old MR as before. And so many well meaning LBS fall back into those old habits, when just six months esrlier they were swearing their changes were permanent.
People can reinvent themselves, but it is not easy. The desire to be better has to feed the drive. And never, ever take your H and M for granted.
How I wish I could go back in time and do things differently. But I can try to make the most of the time I have left.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
