Maybe your S thinks that by him needing to stay behind he's helping to split the family and that by going to AR it would help to keep everyone together?? I don't know, just a thought that occured to me....

At least your W wasn't opposed to the idea of all of you going....a fresh start for all of you might be a good thing.

I see a lot of hope here....but I'm not sure my eyesight is correct lately :-)
