WAW - Worth sticking it out?

[doug01]

dee,

This day will come...you get out of work. You walk to your car. You realize you have no responsibility for the evening, nobody at home. The next thing you are in your own MLC wondering what to do with your free time.

This isn't a positive post, sorry. All I can say is you will never be, no matter what happens, a part time dad. I see my boys 50% of the time, but I'm still a full time dad. Get them as often as you can. Stay in the same general area as the the STBX. You want to have them playing soccer on the weekends and being able to practice with the same team on the weekdays.

What your son is going through is normal. He has no control over the situation, it's frustrating for him. You should be able to work something out with STBX, son needs to be able to talk or not talk on the phone depending on how he feels. Maybe he can be allowed to stay at your home some nights when he is supposed to be there.

All I can say is the better the two of you are to eachother, the better he will be.
