May, I can take a look at her thread. Btw, you were spot on with your Aussie English translations.

Thank you, Sage! I’ll head over to read your update next.

There has been some back and forth between X and I today because S2 is still sick. He was up vomiting every half hour from 12-6am. It’s X’s Sunday, so I messaged him at 6:30am saying I’d let him know if S2 seemed well enough for a visit later in the day. He replied instantly that he’d love to see him if he was feeling better. I didn’t respond, then 45 minutes later he asked “do you need anything?” He NEVER asks if I need help.

At lunchtime, I texted that S2 hadn’t vomited for a few hours and was keeping down food, so X was welcome to take him for the afternoon. I prepped S2 for the pickup. But X had evidently changed his mind, because he declined. Probably for the best in case S2 was still contagious, plus the little fellow really just wanted to be home with his mama. But at least X can’t say that I was attempting to withhold access or something.

The weird thing was how... respectful... X was in his messages. He thanked me and said he hoped I don’t get sick. That’s literally the first time he’s ever shown me any consideration since the day he left a year and a half ago. Seriously!
