Do I wanat to get back with ex? I did for a very long time [we have been divorced 15 yrs], and I think I had unrealistic hopein that as long as he hadn't married long term OW, that perhaps she wasn't the one. I really thought I was over him, but having contact these last few yrs because of mentally ill son, has stirred up feelings again-and that is very scary to me. I don't want to go down that road again. I did go to the dinner mentioned above. It was so nice to see my son have moment of participating in normal type behavior-It gave me a glimpse of him being happy while on a dinner date. Thanks everyone who responded.
