I totally agree that he needs to show a lot of effort. It's so frustrating because over the past 6 months I have become so much stronger, so much more confident, and I know I am an incredible mom (my daughter makes it easy). Then something happens and I feel crushed and I feel that strength slipping away. How can I hold onto it? I can I make him coming home not the most important thing?
