I need to learn about that. Being assertive. Asking for what I need and not demanding it. Being open about how I feel without making the solution to my feelings someone else's problem or responsibility. I am spectacularly bad at all of that. I can see why H would be scared and wary about coming to the house to drop off Youngest after I'd said I was exhausted and feeling a bit resentful - I'm glad it worked out well, but it is only a small step.
He texted affectionately this morning and asked how I was feeling and did I get sleep. He reminded me he is going to come on Sunday morning for an hour to discuss the homework from the therapist, and also suggested a date on Monday.
