Thank you so much. In my ex's case a lot of reconciliation happened. She hasn't picked up the past few times I've tried to call. Maybe she's mad at me about something. My son B tells me she used to bad-mouth me. B credits me for rescuing him from a lifetime of abuse, but it was really her in that she maintained enough presence of mind through the abuse to take advantage of an opportunity to get out when it presented itself. See my "A Spanner in the Gears."
