I think you've made a great start. Dialogue (especially one so respectful) is a first step to understanding. Looking outside our own experiences is hugely important. I can critique what I did and see it's flaws. I can look at a woman that didn't even have the reasons I saw in my experience and acknowledge that she is very unethically denying paternal rights. You being able to see beyond your experience with hubby who is an AWESOME dad and your son(s!) and his potential future to be harmed by this to understand other women's perspectives - these are all steps in the right direction.
Keep up the dialogue, you make SO much sense and say things so much more clearly than I do H!
