I last posted nearly a month ago on this thread. Well, a month has passed since I met my xh after not seeing each other for nearly three years, (and many years now post bomb) and my xh has shown small signs of being reasonable.
We spoke on the phone this evening for nearly one and a half hours over what started out as a business matter (I couldn't get away!) and throughout he was pleasant and polite. This from a man who did advanced spewing in his time.
In some ways it was like the man he used to be.
It is all very weird, and it leaves me oddly unmoved. I want nothing and expect nothing. He wants reconnection with his children, that is clear.
From my experience by the time they have started to come through the crisis we have healed and moved on so much that we are detached.
