Dear Lindsey:

Excellent report, optimistic and cautious, I like this combination. “So far so good”.

Regarding K, keep operating wisely, in so doing you will be maximizing the chances that there will be a healthy relationship with him. You can’t guarantee it, but you can do all you can do, wisely, cautiously. When you feel distressed, don’t impulsively say or do this or that to him. Wait until you are relaxed enough, then ask yourself, is saying this or doing that going to help me or hurt me in the long run? This is how you deal with distress and impulsivity- postpone saying and doing until you are calm enough to thoughtfully choose.
