So small improvements. My counselor said I may be grasping at straws. Possibly. But he isn’t able to compare the past 2 weeks to her behavior prior to that. We’ll see how the next few weeks go.
Your counselor is probably in the near term, but you don't know how things will change over time. Remember actions over a long period of time.

I feel good about the thought process, even though it’s hard not spending those moments with the kids. I’ve been spending a ton of time with them doing other things though, so I’ll see how this goes as well.
Good for you! Tough for a lot of newbies to not be that puppy dog.
