Its strange ... I have read archived posts and noticed that some LBS's get paired up in a way, maybe its when we joined (u-turn and I came on the same day) maybe its the sitches are similar , maybe the MLC'rs are similar ... or I think in our case .. you and I are a touch similar in that we both are calm, and we are fixers.
Like you, I realized a bit ago that sure this MLC thing was going to hit, but there were things in my M that were not good .. one was W and I put S between us, ahead of us, the #1 priority. This caused her and I to start losing that bond we had developed over the past 15+ years. Something she has recently agreed with.
As far as the Reconnecting thing, yeah I noticed a few months ago that W was starting to really make an effort into connecting with S. This made me .. like you ... take notice. I think we tend to look for signs, at this point in the game its not to predict the end of this craziness ... but better to prepare us, so we know what to expect. Like you ... I found it great she was working on the R with S. Recently she has started to connect with the dog, its hilarious in a way ... yes he was a person to her and she up and left him too.
As far as when the MLC starts connecting with us ... yeah I think mine is there, its different this time around and I have done over a year of touch and go's. Little things, she tries, she apologizes, she is making efforts to talk, sharing things about her day and the kicker .. actually interested in what is goin on with me. Are we working on the M no ... its more like her temp checking to see if I will get upset or let her have it about the past at this point.
You are doing great ... keep doing you and your lil one .. let H walk his walk as you have been ... I would allow him time and when he wants to be around great .. provided that you can maintain good balance inside you.
