I found out this morning that my DS (8 yo) has to have a skin thing removed that looks "bad." It is very unlikely that it is anything serious, and the prognosis is so good that the event would hardly be worth mentioning. But my thoughts (as any parent's would) played out the worst case scenario:

1. Son has wierd thing and gets very ill or worse
2. WW gets emotional support from OM
3. well, you can figure out the rest...

I feel sad, lonely, and depressed. But, I feel as if this is a perfectly-timed revelation. This event crystalizes for me how important it is for me that WW maintains no contact with OM, and it serves as a perfect opportunity to open up this discussion with my WW. It is like a silver lining that is ten times bigger than the cloud (I've always been a 'glass-half-full' kind of guy... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> ).

Your caring, straightforward posts remain immesurably helpful. I am grateful for your presence and your support.

Not that far fetched......

What is your thinking on confronting OM?
