Congrats-not just for him but for you too. I'm growing with appreciation for us, the semi forgotten part of the family disease. It affects us very much and yet it seems like we are often lost in the conversation for recovery. Keep focusing on yourself. I'm dealing with it now at 3 months and it's a daily battle in my head, but there is progress not perfection. I hope for your sake the communication and emotional intimacy returns. I have none of that either. I related so well to your post. It's hard to see others in the same stagnant place relative to their close relationships especially after a year but it's one more step of courage for me to shift my thinking. This may be how it is and the question should be, am I willing to accept this as my relationship? We each find our own voice and make our own path through the support of others. Keep on trekking. Congrats again and thanks for your post.
