Anger, resentment, and pain is not in the equation on this choice. I'm not going to do it for payback, or to run away.
I do need to talk to a L.
I will not take our S back without her consent, and documents stating such consent. If she insists on keeping him here with her there may not be much I can do about it. I don't wish to fight her over it. I don't want my S spending lots of time in the care of a "stranger"/babysitter either.
It has been a noble thing to sacrifice my career and desire to be near family. To what end? Why? For my S? I could argue that life for him would be better if I make this choice. It is where we (W, S, and I) want to be anyway. We are only here for her career advancement. Would I sacrifice myself in this way for a friends career? I certainly would for my S. But am I doing a good thing for him by staying here?
