It’s a long story but I’ll try to make it short. My wife made some bullshit complaints about me 1 year ago and got a protection order against me. Well, the protection order ended today and I find myself still struggling with all that’s happened. I haven’t had any contact with her for the last year. I hear about her through our 17 year old son during visitation and thru my lawyer. I got served with divorce papers and the divorce is still winding its way thru the courts. That’s it – no “goodbye”, no “it’s over” or “we’re through.” We’ve been married 24 years and as much as I hate the word I would have liked some sort of closure. As long as we’re getting divorced I would have wished we could have been at least on speaking terms. Like when our son graduates high school in June will we all be able to get together after the ceremony. So, I guess my question is should I try and make contact with her now that the protection order is over or should I just leave things be. Thanks for any advice you can give me and thanks for reading.

I’m very sorry for you in your situation. You could send her a text or try to call her once and ask to be on speaking terms for the sake of your son. But if you don’t get an answer or she rejects then I would definitely just let things be. Don’t keep trying to contact her. She obviously wants to move on, as much as it hurts to realize it. I wouldn’t try to get get any information about anything to do with her or the divorce from your son either. If you try to make him the communicator between you two he might resent you for it and push you away. I know this from experience. I hope I’ve helped you in some way with this. Best of luck
Personally, I believe you should leave things be for now. Don’t dwell on it too much, and just hope for the best, maybe she’ll even contact you one of these days? 🙂 Everything will be fine.
As far as the practical matters go – do you have a mutual friend (or maybe friends twice removed) that you can inquire through?
Ild let things be too honestly ain’t worth the crap
