Thanks for the reassurance about handing S5 back, Ioavva. In the moment, it made me feel like a jerk to do so, yet my eye is on the longterm. W blamed me so many times for not letting her mother S5 more/have more time with him. Now that she does so, but alone, I think she's feeling overwhelmed. I'm hoping that she can figure out how to parent him in a healthy manner, and be able to celebrate being a mother more. I'm also hoping that she can recall how it was nice to have me around co-parenting with him as a couple in the same house.
I'm wondering if the calls to as me to talk with him are related to that or if they are just focused on S5 and co-parenting from separate households?
I understand the idea of getting her to miss me. I truly hope that happens at some point.
