Mandy, I'm happy to see that your son is doing well. I know your son had a few set backs w/his father, but your son has done extremely well and knows the score. He's a very smart young man and will do well in life...after all....his mom is a beautiful and smart lady.
Mandy, you are an inspiration here, you've shown others that you can live life to the fullest and with dignity even when the MLCer acts like a pompous @ss.
I'm very proud of you and your son!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
and just for a quick update, when the seas have been calm for so long, around 18months since son or I heard from the ex, he has come up trumps again and cancelled the payment on sons life insurance, this is a policy he took out when son was born and was due to mature in eight, yes eight months time. I imagine he has just found out he is still paying into it or is so desperate for cash that yet again he as robbed his only child, low life or what I think this is lower than a snakes belly
Braveheart we haven't seen or spoken to him for 18 months, and not really throughout the 6 years plus that its been going on, he never fails to amaze me
Hi Mandy! How are you doing? Been thinking about you, and wondering if you and S are okay.

Hi BeingMe, so lovely of you to think about me lol xx Myself and son are fine, son is in his second year of college and doing well, I am out and about and living my life having fun, going out, holidaying all the things a single lady should be doing, the old sitch is still the same and cannot see it changing now, far too long gone and too much water under the bridge that got burnt to think any other wise, but hey ho its on with life we go. son says he isnt interested in his father at all now, although I still think that if his father summoned up the interest and called his son that son would be there for him. all in the future I suppose for the pair of them, but for me I have bowed out and got off the ride, I do pop in here now and again to see how you are all doing, so my friend I hope that everything is good with you and take this opportunity to wish you a merry christmas xxxxx
Hey, Mandy. Glad you're doing so well, and son too. Merry Christmas to you, and hope your happiness continues into the new year. (((((hugs)))))

ML, I am happy for your S, too, although I always felt saddened by your X's abandonment of him. It seemed that your X popped out of things for a short time and now is most likely too mired in his own problems to deal with anything or anyone else. I hope he will resurface and have a R with your S at some point, but a great deal of damage was done.
During our X's MLCs, your boy became a man and my baby became a little girl. I think my D is like your S in that she accepts his limited, half-@ssed involvement for what it is and has turned to others for support.
And I was thinking...I do not know X any more. We haven't had a real conversation in 5 years now. I have forgotten many aspects of who he was and have rethought much of the R.
He isn't a stranger, but he is someone distant and far away. Someone I used to know.

Happy Happy Christmas to all my db friends, just a quick note and I feel it is a sad one but we will survive, this is to be our 7th year on our own without the ex, all through that time he as always sent son at least a card, not always a gift but a card, this year total nothing from him for son, so guess he is never gonna rebuild his relationship with son as this is just another nail in his own coffin, ah well so be it, I have spoilt son so much this christmas and always, good luck ex you are really gonna need it my old fruit cake lol ,,,,, love to you all xxxxxx
