Pie's Story - he's comfortable again

[BeingMe]

Your sitch is quite new, isn't it?! So, I would think there is a long road still, before you are able to detach completely. I found I could do so for a few days at a time, then sink into despair and wishful thinking. It took me about 6 months to finally drop the rope, stop hoping H would get it together, and realised that I can only control myself.

Be distant, little to no contact, mysterious almost. Try to make him wonder what you are doing, which keeps him thinking about you. Don't try making him jealous, but do try to make him think you are slowly moving away emotionally. Eventually, it becomes true, unless something dramatic happens. I just feel for your son. It must be so confusing for him.

Sleep can be erratic ... just find a way to relax before bed.

Sorry, can't help much more. Will think of what more you could do. Of course, you don't have to do anything .... just wait him out. I get the feeling he's not that sure about what he wants, so he's trying to have it all.

Take care.
