Mollie-this post is keeping me going right now-I re-read it often. My h and I mutually agreed on a break and it has lasted longer than I had ever intended or expected. We've been on a break (really separated without either of us actually saying the words) for 2 months now. I am having my doubts more and more that we'll be able to ever make a go again. Although I have seen some baby steps, it just seems like this will take so long. His words echo in my head- "it will probably be too late by then". We have made progress from very little contact to him phoning me and staying a little longer when he drops our son off. Like I said-baby steps. I need to learn patience.
