Trying to detach - part deux

[Coly23]

Thanks Cherry! I do feel I am making some progress but not as much as I would like. I recognise that there will come a time when he decides he wants to separate everything permanently so I need to get strong and prepare myself for that.

I think he is realising that D won't take any &h!t from him so he isn't pushing her for contact. I think that's good in a way but he will soon realise that he will no longer be her step Dad which will hit him hard.

Altair - your H confuses me! So he told you that he was going to go no contact with you for a couple of weeks/ month? Was that so you both had some space and did he achieve it? What is happening now, have you been out for a walk with him?
