Seeing His Smile Again

This journey has been really hard for me and my son and honestly, the support here has helped me. I haven't seen my son smile much after the assault and after his dad victim blaming him. I just started to feel like nothing would get better. But I'm starting to realize things do get better. Therapy is going okay is. From what he tells me he still doesn't want to talk to her about what happened to him, but he doesn't resent the thought of therapy as much as he did in the beginning. Also one of his friends came by the house again and begged him to come over for the weekend. He's still been struggling with nightmares and wetting the bed so he's been saying no, but he finally decided to get out of the house. I called his friends mom and explained the bedwetting situation and she said "Oh thats fine. Tell him don't worry about it. Thats not a problem " so he's getting out of the house this weekend for the first time in a while. My brother also called to apologize for what happened. I accepted his apology, but I've told him he's not moving back in. The stuff he said to my son and after punching him in the face and starting a fight with him. It's too much, and I have enough on my plate. Seeing my son smile again was the best thing ever. I never want to take that smile for granted ever again. I'm happy he finally wants to get out of the house. I'm glad my brother also apologized even though I'm not moving him back in. I've been feeling pretty down lately, like I'm a terrible mom, so seeing my child happy helps so much. I'm sorry if my updates get annoying. It just feels nice to have a safe place and I greatly appreciate you all. I don't think we will ever be back to 100% normal, but I'm getting closer to my son. Idk if his father will ever come around, but for now I'll do my best being both a mom and a dad.
