Look what the cat dragged in! (TL)

Oh I don't mind the story at all. It makes me happy to know there are kids out there like your son who are so kind and wonderful to these kids who sometimes need it the most. My son had some friends like that in Middle School, but sadly his new placement for High School moved him out of his home school and away from those kids who have known him for years. Boy Scouts is kind of our life raft to keep those kinds of relationships with people who accept him for his gifts and make the best they can with the rest of it.

My son is amazing. Even with all the challenges I can't imagine my life without him. I wrote my H a message just now that he can read on the computer when he has time. I would have rather done it in person, but I don't know if I will get that kind of time while the words are still sitting on my brain the way they are right now.

Poor H. His message program is going to be filled with quite an amalgam of surprises tomorrow, or whenever he decides to return. "I saw your smiling mug on her facebook. I see that I am the one getting the "other woman treatment", everything makes so much more sense now." "Our girlfriend Tina Fey is in the new Muppet Movie (inside joke, he and I both love the Muppets, they are prime nostalgia to our childhoods, his OW is afraid if them)."I blocked you both on facebook. Now you can go ahead and "take pictures of you _something inappropriate for public here_ if that makes you happy, and I will have to go out of my way to see that BS." And then several paragraphs of "I know you didn't have an ideal childhood... I hope you will think about the ways in which this situation could effect our son. It's already having effects (listed examples), and there could be lasting effects. Consider the effect your own parent's decisions and behaviors have come to bear on the way you see the world, the way you trust or don't trust people, the way in which you are able to open yourself up and relate to other people in your life like myself and son... what effects could this situation have on him for years to come, etc. It's not too late to work on that relationship and make it better, and I think it is important to consider that even though you don't want there to be, there could be emotional and psychological ramifications of this situation on son whether you mean for there to be or not.
