It truly WAS a pleasure having you over. We should do that again soon. I hope your S has a good fall break this week!

I left them out since I didn't have time to put anything up yet, but will do that with my S later tonight. Let's see what kind of reaction H will have. Any bets? let's see...nothing, or anger, or sadness.
Nope, no bets. Because you put them out to make you and S16 happy, right? In the new Pud frame of mind, that's all that matters right now.

It's weird he goes out on Sunday nights because he has to work the next day.
Well, we didn't chat about this last night, but my XH used to do the same thing in the timeframe between his DUI and when he actually moved out. He gets up really early for work (always has) and I used to wonder. But I think I remember him telling me that he didn't want to be part of "family time", which was usually on Sunday evenings. I don't know why or what purpose it really served either. I think he was just making sure I got the message that he was the boss of his ornery self?

Today, I awoke with renewed vigor. I have realized I want to try and make this crazy train of a marriage work. I want to see the good people my H used to be. I know he is there.
I'm really glad you woke up feeling this way! You deserve to put all you've got into an A+ effort here. You will never know until you try. And if the doubt creeps in, just remember that your S16 is watching and you're his role model in how to forgive his father, the one who hurts you the most. I know how hard that is, but you all deserve it.
Good luck, enjoy your yummy dinner tonight, and hugs!
