Is the house all set up? How long did it take to find the feet for the TV? Oh my, so many unmarked boxes, during my moves.
Dad’s doting on OW’s son right in front of son. During his call. During the time Dad should be focusing on his son. Just ugh! Yep, XH can’t see beyond his own nose. Yet another display of how lost he is.
I empathize with S19. My XW didn’t reserve her insensitive behaviour for just me. Oh no, she splashed it all over her kids as well. Sorry S19 was hurting so.

Son can remove his belongings. That doesn’t necessitate just day time visiting only from this point onward. Even though S19 might feel that way for the moment.
If, sometime in the future, S19 would like to stay overnight during a visit, he just brings some clothes. He isn’t living there. Just visiting. When he wants to. There is something powerful about realizing one’s control.
Son controls his actions. And reactions. I think it a good sign, and step forward, him removing his clothes and not living there.

Nicely done.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
