I like to think he does. I recognize it could be my ego. I am trying to be very careful about mind reading. Things I know. (After all, I was VERY wrong about where my XW's mind and heart were.) He was not interested in my views early on in this tragedy. My one attempt at talking about it was shut down:
G, "I know W has been talking to you about us. I don't know what you know or what she has told you." XFiL, "You two will work it out." and left.
I am learning to observe behaviors and emotions instead of listening to the meaning of words. This goes against my natural inclinations as a logical person and military experience where clear and concise communications are required.
My parents pointed out it could be that I've always been the one to handle money. I tried to interest XW. It never worked.

I thought the analogy would be - Say I smashed your face in with a baseball bat...breaking all your bones. You go to the hospital for many weeks. You do heal ... though with scars and pains for the rest of your life. See!! You are resilient and can lead a good and productive life anyway, right?! Aren't you stronger now that you went through that?!

Agreed! My thought was to have them write a thank you each time they expended funds for classes or whatever. A direct connection to what their generosity funded.
