Hey there,

Just wanted to let you guys in on the conversation between me and H this morning...

H: Can I come over tomorrow afternoon so we can talk and then I'll pick DS up from schoold?

Me: Sure. That will work. Do you want to talk to DS?

H: Yes, I would love to.

So they talk for a minute.

H: Are you still going to IC?

Me: Not right now b/c of the cost.

H: But I think you still really need to go to deal with your past issues.

Me: I will eventually go back but not right now. Why do you seem so concerned that I go?

H: Because I think you need it.

Me: I think you need IC also.

H: I know. I promise I will eventually go.

H: Can we all go to dinner tomorrow night?

Me: Let me check...umm, tomorrow is Thursday...that should be fine.

H: I mean, we'll all go pick up DS from school and then go to Chili's?

Me: That sounds good. DS would really like that.

H: I'm really trying to get my head together. I know that probably doesn't mean much to you right now and I don't blame you. I deserve it.

Me: Okay.

Some silence...

Me: Well I am going to get DD up and feed her. Talk to you later.

H: Okay. Bye.

So what do you guys think? This is the first positive sign I have seen. But I am trying not to get excited about it & take it for what it's worth.

Thankful,

I think this is very encouraging. He is taking the blame and that is another way of saying that he is sorry. He is also talking about getting help in the future, and future talk is good and shows that he thinks of you being there.

I know it's difficult, but don't get too excited, just be cautiously optimistic. It's likely that he has glimpsed life without you and his family and he doesn't like what he has seen. Your talk and dinner on Thursday should give you some answers.

I pray things keep going your way.

Tired

I agree with Tired. The conversation with your H sounds encouraging. But do be cautiously optimistic. I admit I am jealous. I know that you are probably on pins and needles, excited but scared at the same time. I hope your talk goes well. I hope he sees what he could be losing here. A beautiful and loving family. Just don't get your hopes up too much. I don't want you to be let down. I have thought the same things many times...only to be let down.

I will be praying that your day with your H is a new beginning for you! I hope the Lord is working on him. Woudln't that be so wonderful! I am geting excited for you.

I definitely like that - cautiously optimistic. That sounds like a perfect way to think/be right now. I am going to be a nervous wreck tomorrow - I am so anxious to hear what he has to say.

Soon, I am definitely more scared than anything - I am not even excited really, just very afraid. Time will tell - after tomorrow I should know alot more.

Thank you both so much for your prayers and support. You're the best! Thank you. ((HUGS))
