Hi Brit, sorry to hear about this situation! One thing that jumped out at me was that I can't really tell from what you wrote what S is thinking, generally or about August. I was also wondering if you're going to be somewhere that S might actually have fun (maybe not?). Could you get him into some kind of camp or activity that would take up a lot of his time?

You said you told H

Also if you want me to be your friend then you have to take an active role in S's life. You said you would and you haven't.
And then he sort of did but then backed off again. Maybe H feels pressured right now because he feels he has to choose between GF and S (and, transitively, you). The choice is obvious to you. It is not so obvious to him.
