At the gate in Myrtle Beach about 1 hour ago, the STBX had the temerity to be “so happy in to see him she had cried“. She should try not seeing him for a month, with the prospect of not seeing him again for 3 or 4 months.
He started to cry as we said goodbye. That got me crying too. I really didn’t want to cry in front of the STBX but I also want my son to know that crying is OK.
On the way back to the Shire…
