Bea, I think you know me by now..that there isnt anything I wouldnt do for my son. And if there is a really strong reason he wants you there, I would seriously consider it.

If not, I really think it would be good for your son to navigate this himself. After all, that's part of life, right?

And I also think, hel!, let your xh have to deal with it like a big boy. He made the mess..let him clean it up some.
