[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op i am sure your judgment is better than the therapist. A good therapist will just ask you what you want to do and reflect on that. They shouldn't advise you.

For me, the fact that he just texted you, only you, randomly just means he was drunk and maybe horny. He chose a text, the lowest possible effort method of communication,  not even a phone call where if you answered it, he'd actually have to speak to you and listen to you and maybe be held accountable. I do not see this at all as serious effort to reconcile with the child or make amends. If he's truly serious, he can write a heartfelt letter to you or kid, or call you, the way your son called hundreds of times. But what you got so far was just a fleeting text that stirred things up.

I agree with this but I doubt the ex was horny. Probably just drunk and upset. It’s not even a blip on the radar considering all his actions. I can’t believe he ignored his child’s calls. That’s monstrous.[/quote]

+1. Monstrous. It would be very hard for an adult to reconcile this kind of fundamental betrayal and have any kind of healthy relationship result from a reconnection. I can only really picture a scenario where it’s a parent forgiving a child. But we are talking about a child and his parent - and a developmentally delayed child at that. This kid has no way to put the events into their proper perspective. [/quote]
