This is a sequel to my other posts.
History: On 8/7 I gave H a letter saying I'd retained an atty & filed divorce papers. That we need to discuss how to handle same with least disruption to our son's life. He came home from office to "talk about it"
To be brief, I reluctantly gave him 30 days to think things over. Promised to research effects of dicorce on children. Then I asked him to do research on Emotional Infidelity.
He immediately became more attentive and involved and sharing little things about his day. I respond in kind, and with appreciation.
He came home last night with internet addresses for sites on children's disorder's for something our child has been diagnosed with. We talk for a minute about this, then (Strike While the Iron Is Hot) I ask whether he has looked up what he promised to do and he looks at me, startled (deer in the headlights) - and sort of stumbles, fumbles. Stutters even. And spits out "You mean emotional infidelity research? Yes, I have been on the internet and found 4 or 5 sites on the subject." Just then our son walked in, and that was the end of the talk.
I know I said I wasn't going to nag, but this was an opportunity that presented itself and I would have been a fool not to take it.
Just a status report. And time is marching on.....
