Luke, I so enjoy reading your posts. You do have a wonderful way with words.
She is very tentative..thats normal. She knows what you have to overcome and she knows that she almost lost you. That coupled with her trying to figure out who she is and what she wants..makes for a lot of insecure feelings on her part. Reassure her as best you can, but, the rest she has to do.
I love that rule about dinner. We had the same rule. It is so important to have that connection together as a family.
Keep going, my friend.

Yeah ... she does seem to be tentative .. thats a perfect way to describe it .. almost like Goldilocks. And judging from some of the exchanges we have had over the past couple months, the fear she still could lose me does come into play often. We had it out a few weeks ago ... and during one of our hmwk sessions a week or so later she made a reference to her fear about me 'throwing in the towel' ... this reference has been brought up a handful of times over the past 2-3 weeks.
That dinner rule ... yeah I statred that one with S when it was just he and I. W and I touched on that subject in one of the Post Sessions and agreed ... but like many things, she does not follow through so its up to me to lead in that case which I do not mind at all ... and yes ... its a very good new tradition for the new M to have as far as I am concerned. W and I talked about the introduction of smart phones was critical in issues for our M ... now I know better .. but I do admit they surely did not help. Reading here .... how many A's .. EA and PA are nurtured by the ease of communication we have, hard not to think about how many lives have been turned upside down due to this.
