MissKate - I'm so sorry to read this, what a horrible thing for you to have to go through. I have no real advice or wisdom for you, maybe only that I wouldn't just let him walk away from his son quite so easily, unless you decide it's what you think is best for Lachlan. But most of all, just wanted to give you lots of . You sound like you are handling things with a lot of strength & class - and a whole lot more maturity than he is.

Take care
