Mandy,I am going to be the dissenting opinion in this situation. I definately say NO to the Olive Branch, and I say it for these reasons: 1. He is the one who made and put himself into this mess, let him dig his way out. 2. It was his choice to abandon his son, if he wants a relationship with him, he needs to be the one to build it back, not you. 3. I feel these 2 will use any act of kindness by your part to thier advantage. Mandy, I have a feeling about a couple of things, first, the communication by the current W to you is manipulation. I think she is doing that to look for weakness to get something they want. In saying that, I think you should be very carefull about what you say to them, you are kidding yourself if you think the XH doesn't know about this! Second, I think you still have strong feelings for this man and would have him back. This last statement is just a hunch, but if I am right, that is all the more reason to not put the olive branch out, emotion clouds judgement. If he wants to rebuild his relationship with his son, he needs to be a man, step forward and do it. Gave you a lot to think about!
