Back pedaling is my middle name I think. I want my AH to be better for him and for our kids. So when he has some progress, I get hopeful. But, I am realistic enough to know that only time will tell....I can't make any decisions about his recovery until I see permanent recovery.
You didn't backpedal...you were just experiencing feelings that I think are a part of this whole issue!
Stay strong and believe in your strength.
