Well, you're doing it!! Drawing him back to you. If only you had thought about getting nearly run over sooner. With the exception of a minor slip (which btw, I would make absolutely nothing of....my ex step-son and step-daugther will slip and call me "mom" or "dad", my brother will slip up a dozen times and call me by his son's name, and I slip up all the time and refer to my kids by their brothers names, I'll even sometimes call the dog by one of the kids names). That was a great night. Obviously lots of positives and it's nice to hear that things continuing on as usual though. That's the thing I have most taken note of in your situation.....you stay steady with your own life without too much pursue/withdraw/get sad/get mad/angry outburst etc....it's your X that vacillates around.
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. Abraham Lincoln
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt
