Wow first of all I'm sorry your little one was sick. I hope she's better now.
I think what has happened in the past few days is very interesting. That you didn't feed off his anger is great but what is even better is the next day you acted like you had no idea what he was talking about. Making him think for sure.
Todays events are even more fascinating. The way he says that nothing is permanent makes me think he's seriously thinking about all his options. What you need to do is show him the best option is to come home and work it out with you.
Way2Go!
