6 months in the storm

[ep0215]

Interesting swap this morning with H...he had asked a few days ago if he could spend some extra time with him today even though it isn't his day since he won't be able to trick-or-treat tonight. He came over at 12:00 to pick him up but didn't leave until 1:00.

He made a baby step into reaching out, I could tell he was nervous, he asked me about the school we are zoned for in this house and what it's rating was. He started to talk about private school versus public school and where should S4 go to school. I am not sure I DB'd this right because it honestly through me for a loop. I am sure he is just thinking about where to move to.

I said "We haven't really had a chance to talk about any of this. About anything that is going to happen after the divorce."

He interrupted me to say "I am trying to open that door right now".

"I appreciate that. Would you be open to sitting down or going to dinner and talking? We haven't discussed anything since July and that was just about closure"

He said he was so do I leave it at that? Don't bring it up again? What do I say if we do get together? I want to come up with some open ended questions, conversation starters but no R talk. We have taken a turn lately on how we interact with each other and it has completely thrown me.
