Mandyloo, sorry you feel that way about my posts, but I would like to remind you that I didn't walk off and leave your child, leave you, have you thrown out of your home, have nothing to do with your son, give you little or no financial support for son, cut ties from family..... I kinda think you need to rethink who is cold and heartless here. Your XH hasn't changed a bit in all this time and he won't as long as the OP is in the picture. I have seen these people do time and again what your XH has done to you. You have made all the moves, reached out, did everything and its still the same........ As for a reason why he has done this; it's simple, he thinks the OP is the answer to all his problems! Problem is, once the OP is out of the picture, they are too proud to admit anything. Anyway, my point is; to do anything to "help" is useless, he won't accept it, nor does he want it. Let him go and if he wants more, then you can, if not, well you are no worse off than before. What do you have to lose?
