Ahhh, more and more positive baby steps. I truly believe that when we can sort of "let go", do the DBing ways (validate, etc.), just be ourselves, work on being our best, keep the faith, etc. Things can get much better. It appears that your wife isn't feeling the pressure anymore. She seems really happy to be around you and son. Your boy also brings so much happiness into both of your lives. All of this is what it takes for many happy times in the future.

Take Care my friend and hope you all have a good weekend.
