Afraid,
Everything you posted has a good spin to it. He's looking ahead and is making plans for the two of you. This is good. Encourage him when he does things right. Sounds like he's become a workaholic. Was he this way prior to mlc?

Does he seem happier or still moody? You know, it sounds like some of his depression has lifted and he's starting to think about things. This is all good, in fact, I would say great. When was the last time he went back into the depressive state?

Keep doing what you are doing. It's working and your h feels safe at home. You are doing great.

How are the children? Are you doing anything special tomorrow?

Happy Mother's Day Afraid! Enjoy the day and leave the mlcer monster outside the house. Cherish the time you spend w/your little ones for they do grow up quickly!

P.S. Don't worry about your h. He's baking up nicely. What I've liked is the fact that it's been a rather slow process which means he's not being rushed to skip stages. When he's finished, he'll be a very mature and pleasant person to be around. You'll be glad you waited patiently for him to return to you.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
