Hi T,

Family nearby is a huge plus, in my book. Plus they have a pool! What 8yo wouldn't love that!

I'd consider it, pressure or no. If you do get back together, family might help you two to have the time you need to work on things, improve it.

Are the jobs nearby reasonably comparable to those elsewhere, and will your family be non-interfering should a reconciliation be attempted?

H not helping with S8's gifts is tough, yet it fits with the self-focus of the WAS, doesn't it? S8 is really blessed to have you as him mom. How is he doing thru all this?

Thanks for the reminder about communication. I need to revisit that topic as well.
