I informed him (just the facts), but he didn't respond to any of it. He did respond to other, happier, messages. People around me have commented on how uninvolved my h is with my son currently and this really got to me. Why is this? I couldn't stop obsessing over it and caved. I asked my h if he has time to chat today because I'd love for my son to see his dad more often. After having done that, I realized that, sadly, that it's really not within my control.
I feel the need to put some boundaries in place for my own sanity. I find this intermittent (and limited) superficial communication from my h very stressful. There are dozens of elephants in the room, on being our son, that are not being discussed. My h is an extreme avoider of confrontation. Within his family, people can go for months without talking to each other and then one day they simply start talking again (without having resolved anything). Not talking and avoiding, it feels very comfortable to him. I know I can't control what he does, but what can I do here to protect myself at least?
