The ex called me today and apologized if she caused any concern or worry. She said being alone all weekend made her start missing our son and really got her down. She said she never called because she just didn't feel like talking to anyone.
She talked of her upcoming travel schedule and how hard that would make it for her to visit our son. She began crying so I did my best to console her. I told her she could have called. At a minimum she could talk it through to someone who understands. I told her that you never know but I may be able to help in some way.
She responded that no one could make this better except for her and she wished our son lived with her. This conversation was going no place fast so I tactifully bowed out.
She later sent an email with a link to job listings in my area with a note that stated there wasn't anything available for her.
Time to step back out of the picture for a few days. The focus is exclusively on our son right now and there wasn't any mention of missing me in that conversation. In fact, I wasn't even considered comfort material.
Soooo, I have put the white horse back in the stable. I made a wise decision not to gallop to her rescue because I would have been the last person she wanted to see.
