Title: Wish us luck Post by: believer55 on December 10, 2014, 02:20:45 AM Well we are heading for a weekend away I bought for my uBPDh for his birthday mid year. I have been so anxious re his mood but he has been really trying. I am hoping for 3 days of no dysregulation. Keeping my validation technique handy but hoping we can both just relax. Wish us luck!
