We have my skids the whole month of July. I love having everyone here for an extended period of time but was starting to need a break. DH is still unemployed and I'm working 10 hour days. The kids are staying up later since it's summer time and I don't mind that but I didn't realize how much it was cutting into my solo time with DH.

I posted before about the BM calling and saying SS was getting braces the day before he was to come stay with us for the month. DH decided it wasn't worth a fight, and we were trying not to rock the boat hoping she wouldn't file an answer to our petition to change visitation so SS came to us on July 1st with a mouth full of metal. No big deal, gave him some advil, took it easy the first couple of days. The 1st night he's here he informs us that he forgot all his dental stuff (special brush, wax, etc) great. So, I go to walmart and pick up said things.

DH and I talked most of yesterday afternoon. I had sent my boys' to their dad's house for the day so it was just him and I. My opening stance was that I couldn't forgive him for what he did and that as much as it killed me inside I thought our relationship was over. I've never seen anyone as remoresful and willing to accept 100% responsibility than he was yesterday. By the end of our hours long conversation I told him it would depend strongly on how my boys felt about it and that I couldn't promise that we would work things out.

This happened a couple of weeks ago but I can't seem to let go of it! I thought maybe venting about it would help.
