Dday, I am just reading your thread now, so I missed a lot of history. I think helping out at the birthday party is a good thing for your son, yes it might help W out in the meantime, but the bottom line is that it is your son's party, and with your help it will go more smoothly, you will be there for him and that counts for a lot for a child. I am sorry for your situation, but it sounds like you are handling things from a place of strength.
