Yeah, I get what you are saying about trying to protect S. At this point (unless H continues to show significant change, particularly in regards to his drinking), I don't want S around him more then necessary b/c I don't want S to turn into him him either. Sometimes I feel like the longer I can keep S away from his solo custody (as thru D) the better it is in these first crucial years when a child really develops and their character forms. This is where it goes back to you have to do what's best for you and those who you love most (S), despite what others may think. I think for yourself though, you are going to have to find a happy medium where you don't cut the idea of a rec out completely, but still find a way to protect yourself from H's ups and downs and ins and outs. That's a tough one b/c it seems like any part you leave open is also left open to hurt.

Congrats on your school. That is super exciting! =) Well, enjoy your weekend...and the kiddie pool! =P
