Thank you, AS. The odd thing is, and I say "odd" to a lot of D couples that I have run into during this journey, that XW and I still like each other as people. True enough, there is some hurt there for sure but despite the flare-ups and tension that have popped up along the way we don't hate each other. SOOO many of the people that I have encountered (and or dated) along the way despise their ex. Granted, I do not know what the history is there - but more often than not there is an abundance of bad blood. I remember early on 25 saying that the past serves two purposes only.....lessons learned and loving memories. As time marches forward, I find myself reflecting back more on the awesome memories I had with my XW than the turmoil that we plowed through as things came apart. I would say in large part that that has a lot to do with the many things I have learned here. I don't expect any miracles, but at a minimum I am glad that no knives are being thrown - at least the climate is "right".
With regard to our S I do worry about him a lot and try to be as emotionally there for him as I can be. He is such, such, such a sensitive little guy. To be honest, I was the same way when I was his age and I remember the feelings -- so I feel as though I can relate well with him.
