Thanks Matt and FY- it's encouraging to see these " breakthroughs" but I know he's not done baking yet. He has cycled through depression, withdrawal, and old H multiple times in the last 24hrs. I'm trying to just roll with it.
Was funny as I was stressed today about several things going on and he asked me if I wanted help de stressing- with a twinkle in his eye. I knew he meant some adult playtime, which I decided would be good for us both. As we were walking back to my room he said " I know this is confusing, me talking about moving to another house from the one I'm in ( it's too expensive) and then us having these types of moments". I said no- not really- I'm good. ( the concept of friends with benefits kept going through my mind but I didn't let it escape my mouth!)
And I meant it. I'm good for now. As you pointed out a bit ago FY, my new normal is a big mess- but it's where things are at so I'll just have to go with it.
I do notice being all together as family, not just being with the kids, seems to be more his happy place than it used to be.
I'm keeping the light on....
