Today was a very difficult day. A day I never imagined would happen. After 4 years of not speaking - I picked up the phone and called my ex. And he came.
My disabled son, Ryan, was rushed to hospital with seizures and possible pneumonia. He was put on life support. The doctor actually suggested I might consider a DO NOT RESUSITATE! I asked him if he was serious and told him I did not think things were at that stage. He told me that Ryan might not make it.
So, as much as I've had 9 years of anger and hostility and abuse with my ex - I phoned him. Ryan is his son. I know he loves him. He deserved to know.
He was crying when he arrived (so was I) and he hugged me. And he was good when Josh arrived shortly after. I had told him to come alone. After all - his wife was OW - Josh was not any OM.
He stayed for hours and not one bad word was said. Josh and he even talked about work and cars etc. My brother and sister thought it was strange - they had not seen him in 9 years! Ashley said she never thought that day would come.
Ryan is ok - but still in critical condition in the ICU and we have a long road ahead. I promised to keep him informed. I hope OW does not give him a hard time about including her. That will be awkward.
Anyway - long overdue I guess but I'm glad this ice was brokern.
