Changing their minds?

[No_hill_for_a_Swimmer]

I agree the no contact suggestion except for legal and children items.

Does hoping against hope raise expetations?
What happens when expetations are dashed?
How does this impact the kids?
Did you expend $$s, emotions, and time in pursuit?
If so what can you do different?
Dancing Lessons?
Scout leader? and so on.
