Well, now, that's the question. As I pointed out to him when he asked how he was doing last week, we can't keep that level of intensity going week after week. Or even one more week. I'm tired.
It remains to be seen if he can drag himself into the room when things aren't as intense. I *do* think he remembered or learned just how horrible things were for me last time, and he seemed to be moved by that. And it might have shaken things up enough for him to remember that he can't skate by with me.
But it remains to be seen if these things actually lead to behavioral change. I didn't promise to stay. I promised to give him a chance.
If it's hurting me to stay, I will be forced to leave.
So in some ways things really didn't change. Or maybe they did. It's up to him for the most part.
