Credo, I'm glad to hear he's being nicer to you. You know when someone is in a MLC, sometimes there's little you can do to make things better. On the other hand, there's A LOT you can do to make things worse. So, for now, maybe instead of thinking about what you've been doing right, (and you have), it might be easier to think about what you've stopped doing that you know used to backfire. People in MLC sometimes slowly start to see the world through clearer lenses and when this happens, as long as you haven't been overly reactive, they might just come your way more. Maybe that's what's happening right now. Be glad. This could be a very good sign. Michele
