Yeah, I haven't done this too much because I have realized his brain is in a completely different place right now. He is saying and doing things he would have never done even last year.
Those are good ideas to. Detaching is hard when you live with the person. I have done that to some extent. I do my thing around the house and pretty much let him be. I go to bed without worrying or wondering if he is coming. In fact the other night, he came in and said goodnight to me when I was already in bed. Actually he scared the snot out of me because he tried to sneak up on me. We had a laugh about it. I guess if I think about it when I do act normal and detach, he seems to notice a little. Baby steps, right? Look for any small signs. Okay feeling a little better. There have been some small little signs when I keep my emotions under control. That will be my goal each day. To not show H my emotions and NO R talk!!
Thanks NY Survivor. I am feeling a little better. Ready to go DB again. First I have to deal with 20 little first graders who will be coming in from recess. AAGGHH
