[...] Part of me tells me I shouldn’t try to control fate but the other part is screaming at me – “you’re his mother, you know what’s best.” But what if it’s his father you’re trying to protect him from? Not so easy. If you’ve been reading along for a while, you know this isn’t the first time. [...]

I’m sorry his daddy is moving away. My son’s father lives on the other side of the country, so I believe I know some of the thoughts you must be having concerning the future.

Hang in there….it all ends up the way it’s supposed to.

That is kind of weird to have a fire at the same spot that you met his Dad, and with another little boy in his care off to Canada!

My last GF had a little boy who’s Dad was a real screw up (still is), I didn’t let the boy call me Dad either because he had one that would try, from time to time, to be in his life. For the boys sake, neither my GF or I ever thought about moving away.

I raised the little boy with good values and took care of all of his needs. I, or my GF, ever talked badly about his Dad because we knew that when the boy grew up, he would see for himself what his Dad was all about. Guess what? He did.

It’s not about what he can teach Benjamin. It’s the void that’s left when a parent is absent – the void that can be filled with all sorts of things, from daydreaming about hero dad, to depression about not being good enough to compel daddy to stay, to something in the middle.

I question what Benjamin has to learn with the example of a man of this nature.

I feel compelled to be honest, here. As much as it would make your life a whole world of easier if B. dad moved back up here, I gotta say I hope he doesn’t go. Because if he stays, Benjamin will have his father (even semi-half assed some of the time), and will be able to form his own opinion of his dad. If daddy leaves, Benjamin will never know.

I’m still twirling around the deception. Not returning your call. Avoiding a conversation. Keeping you in the dark.

Speak to him with the matter of fact. Are you questioning how you feel about Benjamin visiting with his dad during this time?

Are you unsettled with how future visits will be modified and that there are no agreements that pertain to Benjamin?

People who are not honest with themselves are seldom predictable. Your ex is confused and lacks integrity. Some children grow up with better role models and I’m glad Benjamin has YOU!
