Return Trip for advice

[Bunches]

Hey Coly, thanks for responding. I'm not sure what I thought, maybe that we were getting to a place where we could talk about something else. It's always been an uncomfortable topic for us because of how she ended things.

A couple months back she called us to talk about S and ended up breaking down on the phone and crying. She apologized for the way things were. I didn't know what to say and maybe should have pressed it but didn't think it was a good idea. In the last few months it seems like she has been reminiscing a lot about things in our lives years ago. I guess I thought maybe she was thinking about trying to work it out. I guess not now...

She never has a lot of time for S8. She picks him up for her every other weekend without fail and drops by to spend some time with him once a week during the week but she often cuts those visits short because she is tired or on a tight schedule. To my knowledge, because I can't say I know everything about her life, but she works a demanding job so it keeps her busy. She rarely asks for more time though and never more than "I'll drop him off in the morning instead of tonight" kind of thing. She never takes him on her vacation time and when she has scheduled visitation for him around the holidays she has to arrange him to stay at her dad's because she can't take off work. She talks a lot about him coming first but I don't really see where he is ever put first.

I know that's more of an answer than you asked for there...sry.
