Sad Dad needs help II

[Surfer]

Hopful,

You have perfect advice here. Do not contact your wife any more - unless its something that is genuinely about kids and important. Don't make excuses consciously or subconsciously to contact her for your own connection.

She will get in touch with you. Exactly as Mr Bond says. Imagine she is mentally ill. Because in a way she is. I don't know if it is 'like' or actually 'is' depression but in many cases it is depression.

You have to detach from her and you can't do that by staying in touch. We all flounder around with this to start with and will make the odd mistake and have the odd wobble. Try your best and if you do make a mistake. Get straight back on with your goals. Which, for now should include to detaching, having fun with your son and put her to one side. Just be the best dad and let your son know that you are both there for each other.
