H came round for his weekly visit with S13. He was supposed to have a talk with him but didn't. Says now he'll do it next week. He has agreed that there will be no mention of OW unless S13 asks if there's someone else. We've discussed it and decided that S13 needs some time to adjust to the fact that his dad isn't going to be moving back in before he is told that there's someone else in his dad's life. That would be too much for one time.
Despite his complaints about lack of money, H paid for some stuff I needed to pick up for S13, and took us both out for lunch. He also paid his first weekly child support installment - and all of this was without any mention of his financial situation. Lunch was at a cafe that we used to go to every Sunday for brunch and all the staff know us. It was strange sitting there acting as if we were still together as a family.
I'm glad to say that I was completely unemotional when he left, and in fact I was actually anxious for him to leave. Guess I may finally be detaching.
