If she goes out of state and I contest her taking our son, she will hang that over my head for the rest of our lives, because the court wouldn't allow her to leave the state, and I would essentially have hampered her dream of being a doctor. [quote]
INHO you must let her pursue her dream.

Or it maybe it is the way precisely.

Or they might turn beautiful with your son liberated in the middle.

That sounds like either an invitation or a dare. Either way, it looks to me like a door.

Big talk. Big escape clause.
I have a similar thing going on where not contesting my divorce will result in my not even being able to be in the same country as her for 5 years.
Right now her signed divorce papers are on my desk for me to sign them and send them back.
And right now I am doing everything I can to keep her talking and going to counseling with me.
In the end, if our talks and conversations don't pan out the way I want, I know I will let her go and accept being exiled from her.
Because it was important enough to her to do it.
And I love her.
Not faint-heartedly. Invincibly.
I am being the possibility of:
1) Integrity 2) Loving myself completely. 3) Things flowing naturally between us, without any fear or attachment to the outcome.
