Hey Bruce I don't have time now to respond much to your post.
But would it be insane to buy your wife a cell phone (SO YOU CAN CALL YOUR SON)
or talk to her in an emergency? It could be a low minute usage phone and not very expensive and it would assist you in communicating with her more directly.
IF your son were older, you'd buy him one. So in a way you could say it's for that.
I mean, it would obviously make it easier if she wants to "work SOMETHING out with you"...right?
If you give it without ANY emotional expecations, but merely to improve the ability to contact each other
especially in an emergency OR school matter (someday) involving your son, this makes sense.
Meanwhile you could text her as well. And maybe say "goodnight" to your son every night. Make it about HIM...
Just an idea.
Also why didn't your DB coach help? I have never heard a bad or even mediocre review although not all are successful. Mine happened to be perfect for my situation. Whatever I tell you that is useful, came from her in some form.
What did they suggest that you tried, which failed,
OR did you not want to try their approach?
Specifically, what went wrong?
