I agree a lot of positive things. If he wants to know why you are on line so much, maybe you should tell him about this board and how it is helping you to better your relationship with him. Pride may have a lot to do with it. Great bby steps!! Once I moved out of OM' s place I used to always tell him oh, I will probably go home and do laundry or watch t.v., when I dropped d off I used to always let him know that I will be going home to do nothing, with nobody. Keep up the good work.
