I told him that he is right that it doesn't make sense, but that I love his mother and am praying for her every day.
He is wise beyond his years and knows that there are no true grounds for D between us. I told him that I loved her for 25 years and would be open to reconciling with her, but that that would have to be up to her. I said that I could not force her into to doing it. She will have to come to the conclusion herself.
Im sorry, and I may be out of line here, but to me, this doesnt seem like an appropriate conversation to have with your son. To me, this puts a ton of your influence on his relationship with his mom. I dont know what was said by whom, but in my opinion, saying that you'd be open to reconciling, but it's up to her is placing a lot of blame on her. I dont see how you can tell your child that and have it NOT impact the way the view the other parent.
