Im not really schooled with the stages of the crises
I have read they may go back and forth
so you may see touch and gos

and we as a hurting LBS will read into their confused signals

but unless you see her showing real signs of wanting to reconcile,
like seeing a therapist, wanting to move home, staying in instead of playing with D friends
reconnecting as a good parent, showing signs of responsible adult behavior-
I would keep moving forward and away
put all your energy to help your sons-
and heal yourself and continue to keep the focus on you

You mentioned many years back she came back when you moved on-
maybe she needs to see you moving on
lovingly

Im so sorry for your youngest son
We have to become 2 parents
explain to them it is not their fault
sometimes people i life get "sick" mentally, emotionally, and MLC
she still loves them but she is trying to figure out her unresolved childhood wounds
this takes many years and only a chosen few will R

Our children can get through this
we have to be the strong parent
let them see you lovingly letting her go and supporting their needs
become stronger than we are
and no negative talk about their mother
