Hannahsmom, I will write your whole name, because I am a Hannahsdad, only mine is 14.
I have got up to speed, and I must say I, My dear, I am impressed! You are not only talking the talk, you are walking the walk.
I think you are doing great, keep up the good work. Not many here have heard this at first, but you have great instincts for this so as long as his actions are positive, continue on course, if and when you get a negative reaction, tuck that away and don't do that again.
We were posting earlier about how fluid these situations can be, we need to be vigilant and adaptive. When he is up, full steam ahead, when he is down, think about "what you used to do", and then do the opposite.
You have said you are in this for the long haul, and trust me, we all respect you for that, but there will be times that what your H does and says will make you second guess what you are doing, that is a good time to come here and get some perspective.
Stand and fight for what you know is right. I have told my W several times, my new motto is "No Regrets".
WE are all here for you, for ourselves and for each other.
