So here's the thing....

NDY is a stand up guy. We've met several times and his EXW would be mad to have left him. The one thing that always worries me, is that the MLC'er doesn't know how to take the first step back to rebuilding the link.

Personally, I don't think NDY should cut off this communication strand. I know what everyone is saying here is perfectly right, but how do you start a reconnection, if you can't talk?

Of course, it would be up to NDY to want to reconnect - an additional child puts a major spanner in the works, but I don't think any poster should discourage the communication strand.
