Snodderly I intend on treating my xh like a friend IF I ever get the chance to speak with him again. He hasnt contacted me in any way and I havent him. Honestly I dont know if he ever will, I can only hope. I do think when my xh left me he wasnt very sure of hisself. As time went on though, he became use to the new life he had. He did get upset once at me when I told him there had been someone else. He said he was hurt. Snodderly what I dont understand is, when I told him this and he got upset, the ow was already living with him. He also had some contact with me during this time. BUT after they broke up the second time and got back together, the contact stopped. I dont know what happened. It's like he was mad at her but took his anger out on me and he has been angry ever since. I know I will never have answers to some questions but you and others here have been here awhile and I thought maybe you could answer some things or at least give your opinions on it.
Readyforchange, my son will NOT ask his dad for anything. Ever since his dad left he tip toes around him. There is no way he will ask for anything in fear of making dad mad at him too. I think my son thinks if his dad gets mad at him, he will stop contact with him also. I feel so bad for my son. It's not fair.
Renee, its not fair, and its not going to be fair! In fact, its never fair! Life isn't fair, don't mean to sound so gloomy, but that's the fact. We just have to be able to accept it, deal with it, and rebuild your life.
