or is everyone else having trouble with the site on pretty much a daily basis too? It always fails after I've figured out just how to phrase my comment & then it's lost! What's the deal?

So, I got a call from my little brother a few weeks back. His wife has left him & their child to be with someone else. A bit of history: They've been married for 11 years. She left once before, about 3 years ago. She started on some kind of anti-anxiety meds & 3 weeks later she told him she wanted to separate. They'd been trying to have a baby & couldn't get pregant. Growing up, she'd always been the "good" child. She is one of 5 adopted children.

We got to see SS this past Saturday, & DH got to see him for lunch last Thursday. I guess SS got into it with BM over SS wanting to see DH. He said BM will have nothing to do with any of it. SS is currently staying with BM's mom (nanny) & her husband (grandpa). They brought him into town for a dentist appt Thursday & SS called DH to see if they could come by & see him at work. The granparents didn't give them a moment alone because the CO says visitation has to be supervised, but they went to eat & they sat a few tables away.

I posted a blog about SS starting to call & talk, very bluntly & honestly with DH before Christmas. He expressed a desire to spend some time with us on Christmas Eve, but we never heard back, so it never happened.

We were hopeful that his very frank & honest comments were signs that he was beginning to do some real soul-searching & that perhaps he was at a point where he was ready to start making an effort to heal his relationship with DH.
