thank you so much for coming back and sharing you story! wow, that sure was a long MLC tunnel. I totally understand how you would be hesitant/resistant to think about recon with your exw. Life is short, diving back into all that with past experience is especially daunting. Has your son expressed any opinion on this?

aww, as parents we live for those words of validation that we're doing something right. That was very sweet of him to say.

add my H to that list...I honestly believe that mental health is the most neglected issue in our society. Most problems are kept in the dark, shared with few, yet the problems that stem from it spreads all over our interpersonal relationships.
