Forward, thank you for your reply, I am really really pleased that son and ex are connecting again and I can only hope and pray it lasts,. as for me am i interested in x, I can say I do still really care about him and wouldnt want to see any hurt come to him, I would like to think that he could come to me if ever he needed a friend, that is all I can be to x now is a friend, I couldnt see it going any further and I definately wouldnt pack my home in for him after what he did. we will see how it goes. also the fact that we now have a dog must be a sign to x that we moved on as he cant go anywhere near the dog or anywhere it as been due to the fact that he is allergic to dogs.
