Here's where I could use some guidance. My gut says he is coming to a bit, but is very fragile.
Still, I like the life I've created. Asheville is a magical, healing place for us and I want it stay that way.
He alluded to wanting to surprise me with something for my birthday next week.
How do I broach this subject carefully, with compassion? Both girls are opening their hearts to him a little.
Bottom Line:
1. I don't want to be the replacement woman for OW... just as OW was a replacement for me. 2. I don't want to bludgeon his progress, especially for the girls' sake. 3. I don't want him here until he has shown many months of sobriety and is in therapy, preferably with a 12-step program too. Asheville needs to remain safe.
I'm not doing his 3-step waltz, where he comes back, does half the work, then rattles our world again.
