3KidsDad - thanks for your post.

I am going to try my hardest to act "as if" he's going to see through it, but not say anything, as it's easier for him to feel that he's getting away with something.

But, if I react I will only cement his reasons for withdrawing from me.

I feel like I'm dealing with a child again, just as mine all became adults.


The past can't be ahead of you in the future.
You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction.
What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
