Yep, it really does work well. I'm not going to say anything about him moving back. It has to be up to him when he is ready. I'm not sure I'm totally ready but I hope that by the end of May we have progressed to a point where we might be able to at least talk about it. I know he likes being on his own right now. He gets to be a grown up without me lying to him, manipulating him and lecturing him in an effort to control his behavior and feelings. And I am relieved that I don't feel the need to do that so much anymore. That always put a lot of pressure on me and made me feel bad alot!
I guess I just want that fantasy relationship. I know there is no such thing, but compared to what I had before, things would certainly be better.
