Serenity,

This was just the first stab at it. I think you'll hear him start to beg to come home within the next two months. Hold the line when that happens for a while.

He needs to learn. In the second month you can start firing little 'truth darts' at him. e.g. "How can I believe you... you said you hate me." ..... "But what about how fantastic dad is?" ... etc.

I know you'll handle it with finesse and you're going to have to let him WORK towards returning home. e.g. "You know there is some truth to what you said... you seem to listen to dad. You never listened to me..."

Heck, I shouldn't have to tell you how to guilt him into wanting to return home. Women are natural talents at throwing truth darts. Us men are way far behind you on that scale.

(((( Serenity )))) I'm so happy to hear you are doing so well.
