H is coming to conclusions about OW's mental health and it is quite concerning, and given both what he has told me and what I have observed myself, I think he is right. I think she may be seriously ill. H, having done research on this, which I have also done on my own as well, feels it will be most likely to minimize damage to all, especially our children, if he can "not poke the tiger" so to speak. He is hoping she will do the blocking of contact with him. He thinks if she feels in control, she is less likely to lash out and do anything destructive to our family.
A scorpion sat by the edge of a pond and wanted to get across. The scorpion asked a fish, turtle and a bird and they all turned him down. A frog swam up and the scorpion asked the frog to carry him across the pond. The frog replied, "you are a scorpion, you will sting me, that's what you do." The scorpion said, "No, I just want to get across the pond and I will be eternally grateful." So the frog agreed and the scorpion crawled on the back of the frog. Half way across the pond the frog cried out in pain, "you stung me, why did you do that? Now we will both die." The scorpion replied, "Because I am a scorpion, it's what I do."
Be careful who you trust to do the right thing.
