Trusting and Snodderly, I thank you for your replies. Yes it is sad so sad that the old place as been sold, and all that it will bring with it, I am worried about what impact this is going to have on son though, all through life dad promised him that it was going to be sons at the end of the day, and just as things seemed to be going well between everyone, I fear that this might throw son off track again, it seems like dad as ripped the future away from him again, but oh dear out of my hands suppose it had to sell at some point that was always ex's intention, and I suppose from ex's point of the this is the grand finale that he wanted when he left. would of been nice to see ex move back in there and finish his mlc, a place where he and son could re-unite, now all it is is a mound of money for ex and wifey to party it up again with, whilst son gets nothing. so sad. but we will get through x
