I do get moments of distress, and I stop and really look at the situation. We all know it is hard, but as each day passes, I ultimately am glad he is still here and that he does interact once and a while.
Living in Los Angeles County, covid is FINALLY beginning to not have as high of numbers. We are still not eating at restaurants and still staying home most of the time. I am surprised that H is doing the same, so he is here on the weekends. With him being home, get this, he heard me pull up from being at the market, and he came out to help bring in the groceries. I remember to always thank him for whatever effort he makes. If I am too chatty he does retreat, but it doesn’t last long. It used to be like an over correction where he would shut down for days.
I continue to work on me. That’s the only thing I can update!
