I'm not going to push it till April. I've told him what I need, he can think about it and if he can meet that need he will, and if he's overwhelmed at work then he might not be able to. Also, I need to discuss it with my IC I think. I do feel that there's a lot of tiptoeing I need to do in the next week or so while he finishes up a really busy time at work. From past experience, he is too stressed to be approachable this time of year. I was reading some old messages from friends actually and it is startling how very seasonal his terrible behaviour has been..Though this year is the first Easter I haven't gone away with at least one kid and left him and triggered his abandonment issues. At least this time he will come too for some of it.
