You sound like a great Dad, Atlas. I worry about what kind of Dad my H will be. I worry that he will quit our child like he has quit everything in his life. It's true that he has a self defeating personality. He gets really close to obtaining a goal and then runs from it. It's always been that way, school, work, us, our family. I'm sad that my child may not have the chance at an intact family.
I'm sorry your son is sick. I hope he is feeling better soon. Isn't strange how the shoe is on the other foot now with your W? I haven't read all of your thread, skimmed through a lot of it, though. I'm sure you had periods where you felt like your W was moving farther and farther away from you. How did you handle that? And, did she eventually move closer again. This is how I'm feeling as of late.
Have a great day with your son.
