Hope4us struggle, part 6

[Hope4us]

Thanks Pup. Last night was another very good night. We talked and talked. WW was making some casserole thing to take into work this morning and I was watching the NBA draft and she was even yelling in from the kitchen making comments on the draft. This is from a woman that doesn't know OJ Mayo from Helman's Mayo.

Anyway, I think the limbo land that is H4U's life may have come to a radical decision point. DS16 is in our hometown for a week or so staying with his best friend. Last night at 2 am he TM'd me and asked if I could arrange a transfer back to our hometown. WOW. DS16 has always said he really likes it here and didn't want us moving until after he graduated. This has always been WW's fall back answer when I'd ask her "wouldn't it be best for all of us if we moved back to hometown?" She'd say, DS16 likes it here and I'm not pulling him out of a school he likes and away from the friends he's made.

I've always wondered if she was using that as an excuse to stay here because OMW told me that OM had told her a while ago that he might get transferred back here in a couple years. Wow, perfect timing, WW saves her money "acting" like she's trying with me, DS16 graduates from schoool, WW says "see kids, I've tried for 2 years and me and Dad just don't have it, she files for divorce and OM returns and she says to the kids, "I told you OM had nothing to do with our trouble, but see how happy OM makes me".

But now that DS16 wants to move home, WW won't have that excuse anymore. Now she'll either have to put up or shut up.

DS16 did TM WW last night asking her the same thing and she told him he'd have to talk to me. So I'm thinking this is good for ole H4U either way. My boss has told me he would arrange a transfer for me if I wanted it. DS16 wants to go. If WW says she wants to stay then I'll know what her plan is and DS16 and I can move on with our lives. If she says she'll go with us, I'll know it's over for good with OM and she's willing to really give us a shot!

Man, this is going to be a good Friday. I talked with WW for a couple minutes this morning. Asked her if DS16 TM'd her and she said yes, at 2 am, and 3 am....kind of in an I'm really tired voice, but not angry or disappointed in his TM.

I can't believe how good I feel. Seems like the end of limbo land for H4U!
