It seems like the saddest part is how this is effecting your son, but perhaps you can imagine modeling how to be happy to him. You did the right thing by not criticizing her drinking if that was the old you. That shows you have done a 180! I bet it was not a bust. I bet you planted a seed of doubt in her mind, she is probably thinking about the weekend fondly if she shows affection with a hug. You will have more chances later.
My son is the hardest part of this, I can go up and down, and I can deal with that. Watching my son do this kills me thought. I think I do well in keeping happy and having fun with him, right now he is my life and I try to make it the best I can for him.
I did not critize the W about drinking, never have, she does not have a drinking problem, she might drink a 4 pack of wine coolers a year. Unlike me, that would just be an appetizer for an afternoon.
I hope I do have more chances, last nite after the weekend was completed, I was just emotionally worn down. Yes the hug was nice, she has plenty of chances to do it when we are by ourselves, but the very few times she has, it is always in front of our son which leads him to a new round of asking questions. That is why I don't put much into them, as I think they are for his benifit in her eyes more than anything.
