That is a great description and thank you for that. Yes, a lot of similarities. There are many hard parts to all of this but one right now that stands out is that about every other day she will do/say something that gives that slim bit of hope that things could work out and then next day she is back asking if I have talked to the attorney? I am in the exact same boat right now...not initiating conversations but certainly open to them and being calm, respectful. The other way didn't work and now I am trying this way. At the end of the day with our son being 12 years old, our house being the nucleus of the neighborhood one would think that she would want to try again for the sake of that. Maybe a woman's head doesn't work that way.
