I figured as much. At least from what you've written I really don't get the impression he's in this game...either for his son or for you. I'm glad you have plans and hope you enjoy yourself. Eat a big piece of cake for me. I hope he at least calls.
Quote: I am just sitting back here and seeing what he does next. At this point, I don't know if I really see an R in our future. A lot will depend on what actions he takes next. I'm not totally giving up yet, I will keep my best positive attitude when we talk next. And let him deal w/his own issues.
That's all you can do, just sit back and see what happens. You've gone about as far as you can until he starts making stuff happen. Be looking for babysteps, but don't get your expectations up.
