Well, I must say that things have been better, and I do see him trying and trying hard to make important and necessary changes.

I am cautiously optimistic. I am not overly optimistic, and I am wary, but things have been good lately.

I am contacting therapists. I hope I can identify and find a good one soon. I think he may need anger management classes or anger management therapy at some point too. I have no doubt that at some point, he will get stressed and frustrated and will be tempted to blow his lid again. I am not going to be his anger manager though. He needs to learn how to do that all on his own. I refuse to play mom.
