Thank you all. Yeah, short list...I realized I left off that she had two of her BF's die of brain cancer in the past year and half - one 8 months before S or any sign/symptom of A and one about 3 months into S.
I found the 'musings of Amy C' a very helpful post in furthering my understanding. It seems like there is little to no hope in gaining any ground in explaining pain to her. Has anyone had any success with telling the W how she is affecting their children. W has introduced OM to my s4 twice now. I have expressed 3 times in the past how against this I am for the mental health of our son.
Last night my son told me that the OM came by mommys for a sleep over. He was asking questions I just did not know how to deal with. This is a parenting question. I have not spoken to her yet. He is confused, I have him in therapy now. I have read tons of data on the damage this can cause. I know this is addiction to an A, latent pain, MLC, etc. I am not asking this question to save my M or recover - it is about my son. Any advice?
