I waffle between the two. It's hard to know when or if you should start taking a wall or two down, if you can let down your guard and trust your gut. Honestly, it feels different right now. I know, I know, it sounds cliche or like I'm living on a different planet here but really he does seem more aware of his actions and behaviors and he's been an active participant in the family for the past 3-4 weeks now. It's been one of the longest stretches of positive I've seen for quite some time.
Maybe you don't trust him because he's been untrustworthy! Give him the dignity of EARNING that trust back. If he does, he does. Don't hold grudges, but don't go handing your heart out to jerkwads either.
