Not much new with my situation. I will see my ex tomorrow morning when he drops the baby off. Those are always such weird encounters. I may ask him if he would like to go to my daughter's graduation as a family - to show her our support and love. The worst that could happen is one more rejection.

Wish me luck

I hope I don't chicken out...

Trusting this sounds like a step in the right direction. Try to make every encounter with h comfortable and upbeat. When he arrives, very upbeat "hi h, how are you".

Hope it goes well. Well, you can't die from rejection. We all know that now.

If your h is truly depressed as in he needs professional help he will need all the support he can get and it will be a long slow process.

You can lead a horse to water Cagz but you can't make them drink........

Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement.

Well ex came over this morning as planned to drop the baby off. I walked out of the garage to meet him and said "Hi, do you have a minute I would like to talk with you about a couple of things". He seemed agitated at first but then warmed up. I first talked about some issues with my son and then got on the topic of my oldest daughter. I suggested we attend my daughter's graduation ceremony as a family and then take her out to dinner to celebrate. He did not hesitate in the slightest bit and said "Yes, sounds like a good idea". (sigh of relief). After that invite by me he kept talking and talking and talking about his job, car, motorcycle, etc........ I ignored any relationship talks and overall it was a positive interaction. Her ceremony is on June 12. I hope that goes well. I wonder if he will tell other woman?

Trusting, I think your H might be ready for you to warm him up.

You were friendly, he was friendly back.

I'd suggest that you continue to be friendly and see what happens.
