Uphill, you are awesome. I am glad you gave her an ultimatum. I am glad OM dumped her. I think you are right about reality setting in. As much as setting ultimatums is not "DB" I think it is giving you the perspective you need to detach and put your focus on yourself and your son. Even though things aren't really going your way, they are if that makes sense? You are taking care of yourself and your son in a very honest way.
