So here is where I need some real advise. Yesterday when I got home, 3 of my children where ready to go. My 12 was angry and in the garage. I went to talk to him and he was upset about going to Mom and OM house for the weekend. At this point I didnt know what to say to him. I stopped myself from saying the obvious but i collected my thoughts and asked him why. He didnt give an answer. After a couple of questions about his day, I went back to the why question and he said he didnt want to betray me. I gave him a big hug, told him he has nothing to worry about. Then i did the one thing he needed to hear and it was really hard. I told him to go, keep and open mind and he might just have fun at the OM house. I told him, he was there for time with Mom. But that he might like OM as he got to know him. I told him if he didnt feel good, he could call me and I would come and pick him up and bring him home. I sent him with my spare phone and he has texted me alot. But he seems to be doing ok.

I just talked my son into accepting the OM! It felt like the right thing to do for my child, but dam I hate myself for doing it.
