I should update my sig....he is 3 now. He doesn't fully get it yet - but the pieces are coming slowly into focus for him. By next year I figure he'll be more clued in.
I am glad that I have held the line with my boundaries. It is difficult, but I know it is best. Many here have said that I have gone out of my way to keep XW from having to feel all of the fall-out from her decision to leave - and I think you have been right. I am starting to see that my being overly accommodating has not helped much. At this point if she does not see me as a "good" man - she never will. And it's not my problem - it's her loss. I really try to focus on that.
