Your h is sensing your changes, i.e., pulling back. Remember the dance? As you pull away from the situation, the more he's going to gravitate towards you. When we drop the rope, the pressure is off and they need to reach out and touch us to make sure we are still there, be it a reaction or a word, they have to see if what they are sensing is real. In your case, I think your h is afraid that you are moving forward and he's going to be left behind or out of the picture. He knows that something is different about you and he's trying to figure it out. He stills needs that one little thread to stay attached to you.
Maybe your h is finally starting to see what you've been telling in all along about his son. Let's the bond continues to grow. Too much time has been lost thus far w/his son and w/you.
You are going to be just fine. You are a very independent young lady and have survived on your own thus far. I don't see any of that changing in the near future. If anything, you will continue to grow by leaps and bounds...and your son...what a great young man you have there.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
