Ex called me this afternoon inquiring about my mom. Of course, I cried and broke down. No way can I hide these feelings. I could tell my crying made him very uncomfortable. He had plans to take my children and OW and her child to disney starting Friday for a week. He asked if he should cancel this. I told him that I wanted my children with me during this time. If he and OW wanted to go, that would be his choice. He cried with me for a while. About 3 years ago he lost his mom. This is what started his MLC. We talked about the pain when we lost his mom. He told me that he thought that would be the lowest point of his life when he lost his mom. He said that he was wrong, the lowest point of his life is right now. He told me he was very miserable and stressed. I asked him why. He said he could not talk about it right now because I was going through so much. I told him I would always be there to listen.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Trusting, I am so sorry about your mom. I have been dealing with that sort of stress too. My mom does not remember my H any more.
I believe your H is beginning to reach out to you. But please ensure that you are taking care of yourself now. You have so much on your plate to deal with....

T It is so interesting that your H speaks of now as the lowest point in his life the guilt the shame the reality of giving it all away for a moment of fun and it stopped being fun a bottom the reality of his life that isnt what he originally thought it would be i often wonder what my H thinks as he rarely looks happy and often seems moody, distracted depressed or confused
prayers for your mom peace
