Uphill, I am very sorry that this went the way it did. I know you had hoped for a different resolution. Please stay with us and continue to DB for yourself. Whether there is any hope of R at this point, it doesn't really matter, you need the support and guidance to get through this for yourself and for your son.

At least knowing where you stand should help you with detaching and moving forward with your own life. I respect that you are handling this situation with honesty and setting clear boundaries.
