Part 19 - keeping on keeping on

[Sotto]

Hi Edz, sorry if this hasn't been the best day. Hope you have perked up a little. I understand it must feel frustrating. You know that you are in a better place, and that's great. But equally, things may not always move quite as you hope, and it's hard not to chomp at the bit and so on...

But from what you post above, it does sound as though you and your W have had some really good talks and come a long way. As you say, you're not there yet, and there are hurdles ahead. It isn't easy to change dynamics with your parents, so for W to interact differently with MIL is a big ask. It may look easy for us from where we're sitting, but it's pretty scary for your W, I'm sure.

As for S and his questions. I agree that it's important he knows he can ask you questions and trust you to give a straight answer. And I'm sure you handle that very well.

Hope tomorrow is a good day for you!! T :-)
