Michele, I wanted to thank you for the advice you gave regarding avoiding the things that you know cause a negative reaction, if you can't identify what you are doing what works. I know pretty much what to avoid.
I sometimes feel that my H has dug himself a hole that he doesn't know how to get himself out of. I could always throw down a ladder for him but I need to give him an incentive to climb. I am working on myself and trying to remain positive but there are inevitable setbacks. What would you advise to help someone like me get over these setbacks quickly so they can get back on track as soon as possible?
