I am looking out for myself, and therefore am considering on fighting to keep our son in the state (CA). I was initially worried that doing so will essentially kill any chances of us reconciling, but I'm getting more and more convinced that she chose this, and sometimes you don't always get what you want.


This is why you need to get some legal protection - I don't know the laws in your state, but in some states, if there's no document *preventing* her from leaving with him, you can't stop her.

Don't focus on reconciling/not reconciling - focus on what's right for your son, and understanding your rights and obligations as his father. Reconciliation will happen or it won't, but you want to be sure he's accounted for.
