So in an email today, he says he is not drinking (he has stopped before and started back again) and he says he has several issues to resolve before he "grows up again".

My question to the piecing people - are the turn arounds typically as dramatic as this? He has been gone since May 06. Hardly a word from him most of the time. Went for months @ a time without an email and certainly no phone calls until the recent holidays!!

So now, he is wanting to "resolve the issues" (whatever that is for him - I certainly have a few - or a few hundred!). It's just out of the blue it seems. Or is it?? I think he comes around when he sees that I have had enough. Which is just the opposite thing that DBers will tell you to do.

I think he is responding well to the kick in the butt that I have been gently applying. Sorry for the negativity, but it seems to work.

Thanks for any input.
Deb
