Well, if I am honest, it was also a self-serving gesture hooking them up. I mean, I have always wanted WH to resolve his fatherhood issues...for him, and for us.. This has been my wish for over a decade!

Thanks for the suggested wording NM! I like it. I might preface it by saying "I'm sure you are aware of the sad circumstances today"..?

Also, my WH has called our daughter by one of the names on the list, before I've made the final decision! It bugs me. Must be doing it to save face.

G, I must be respectful in how I interract with his Dad, and above all, not let it interrupt THEIR conversation, which is so much more important. WH will totally expect me to talk with him, and he won't be bothered. If he is, I will be surprised.
