Quote: So, I for one, want your advice on my thread
OK, my advice is still "find someone who's making it work and pick her/his brain." I offer support, based on my experience of difficulties in my M. That's not the same as experience of success. I'm serious. I believe you will get good advice that way.
To follow up on what still_hopeful said about validating, here's another way to look at it. All you are really saying is that you understand how/why H could believe/feel/think whatever. You've often posted about how he might see things a certain way for some certain reason. You're already validating when you do that. It's just an admission that it's possible for someone to hold the positions he holds.
You have a lot of guts to go through so much for your M and your family. Pat yourself on the back when you need it.
Your friend,
Joe
