I'm glad to read that you and your s had a nice camping trip. Congratulations on how you handled the RV. That is truly a 180 and now you know you can do anything you set your mind to do.
About your h and hunting...I know many men who get so spun up about hunting and the first day of open season that they only think about packing up and getting to where they need to be. Not making excuses, but hunting may have been the only thing he was thinking about at the time. I'm sorry he didn't show much interest in his son and yes, he should have spent some time w/him before he left on his trip.
Who knows what he did on Saturday, but it does sound like someone came over for a bit or he went somewhere and then came home and cleaned out his vehicle. The person may have come over to discuss his upcoming trip or just to hang out for a bit...but he should have been honest w/you. But, of course, it's easier for the person in crisis to lie because then they don't have to share details w/you. Again, I'm sorry about the way he behaved.
I hope your friend can get through to your h about reconciliation, but he may not. In fact, your h may distance himself from him or even tune him out. Mlcers don't like to have others try to change their minds about what they are doing.
Mleigh, enjoy your time while he's away. Continue to pray and yes, dig for more patience. The answers will come when you least expect them.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
