When the cat is away, the mice don't always play bad games.
Somehow, even when I was seriously DBing and doing my best to connect with W, when I went on a trip, all of a sudden it's 1:00 am and I haven't called home. I wasn't doing anything wrong, I was just so happy to be active and occupied I lost track of time.
HUGE DOWNER when W gave me the nth degree about not calling. HUGE ENCOURAGEMENT when W said, don't worry about calling tomorrow if you don't want to, I know you are being good.
IMHO, although you have absolutely no reason to trust H, somehow you have to overtly let him know he can earn your trust. If he did any of the things you are starting to think he did, he's got a long way to go to accept the reality of life again, and is probably having doubts he deserves a second chance.
Lord, give LG the strength and emotional security to anchor H through the emotional storm still brewing in their lives. Lay her down in a green pasture and restore her soul, so her actions can continue to witness to her H. And Thank You for having her share the Love Your Enemies piece - even though I haven't read it all yet - You know that is an area I'm having serious difficulties in. In Jesus name, Amen.
