Thanks guys - I plan on keeping some space and focusing on myself and son during this time. I'm here if she chooses to come but this is her struggle to deal with.

This site has been incredibly helpful. Especially since the timeline for everything was predicted by many of the vets - that has helped to be patient. If feels like positive changes (by that I mean things actually improving even if slightly) was only made when I let her go and stopped all contact unless it was about our son. I wish I was able to do that right from the get-go but it's part of the learning process.

I've also learned a lot about myself too and no matter what happens I'll be better in whatever relationship I have with whomever I have that with. That's thanks to DB and the advice given on this platform.

I still expect some ups and downs and I'm trying to have zero expectations and just see how this plays out.
