Hi Tessa - Happy Mother's Day

Believe me, you are doing better than you think. I can see progress in the 7 weeks, and when you have a calm moment, I'm sure you can too. The problem is that anytime there is progress, our expectations escalate, and then we get into trouble. The only way I know how to control my own expectations is to live by mini-goals and baby steps

7 weeks ago when I started DBing, I made it a rule not to initiate any contact w/H. Then he started contacting me and I relaxed that rule way too much. I'm going back to that rule. I'll give him space. He's admitted to missing me a few times, so I need to give him room to miss me more.



Oh yes, this will do it. And while you are at it, get some duct tape
