Unchien - I didn't end up having a chat with her. I've done what I can and although it's taken some time i realize she needs to work through this on her own. I'm here if she needs me and she knows that.
As for the finances - at this point I just don't have many options. I don't want to take the money out of our investments. She should be helping us out and I'm only asking for the help so I can make sure I can stay in this house for my son. I'm doing what I can to make more and I'll keep trying.
No, I don't want to share the time with our son. She knows me well enough to know that the money has never been an issue to me and I just want my son. She hasn't shown an interest in being his mom over the past 6 months - her needs over his, and right now I'm doing the better job at parenting. She was a great mom before all of this and I hope she changes things around to be better in the future.
When I came home tonight she did ask if I met up with friends. Instead of lying I told her the truth: I went out to dinner on my own so she could have some quality time with our son and I could have some quiet time for myself. She appreciated that. I asked about her day and she shared how work was. When she left, she gave me a hug.
She also noticed a few times that I was still wearing my ring. I caught her looking twice.
Anyways, overall a good day. Thanks for following up.
