Hi Cathy,

I've noticed it and the thing is the night before last we had a "normal" night, H seemed less alien--



That's just how I saw it earlier this week/last week when I read your post. I was looking into a house and all I saw was a normal family hanging out together. He's trying and he'll ge there.

It's so interesting to me that the "dark" side of H is the one that "identifies" with ow and the good/healthy/wholesome side of H is the side he shares with you. You are too good for his dark side and he knows it.

knew he had the appointment and was going to call to remind him, but decided not to, just another mother thing to do for him.



Congratulations! This is something that I still struggle with and you know what, they'll surprise us sometimes. They know/remember more than they let on.

My H is an addict and needed a fix, now he feels good again..until the next time.



Unfortunately this is the case right now. After a while, I knew EXACTLY when my brother would take off and even how long he would be gone. A year later...all gone!!! Why....because he WANTED to get better; not because I wanted him to get better, not because his mom or wife wanted him to get better; he did. It was his time. Hang in there. Focus on your adorable s4.
