Hey everyone. Thanks for your support, and the reminders not to be too hard on myself.

First week in, and things are great. I've managed to do most of the things on my list (Can't wait for swimming again, that was my fav). It's really not that hard to live in the moment, and what's more, everything is so much more enjoyable!! Most importantly, DS has been so much more lively and interactive, running around, singing songs, engaging me in play, etc. He seems to be back to his old happy-go-lucky self. I'm so relieved that I haven't scarred & emotionally stunted him for life, and that helping him be less withdrawn is as easy as remembering not to be withdrawn myself.

Thanks again, this is a wonderful community xxx
