Exerpt from a book I am concidering writing about my experiences as a divourced Dad. What do you think?
Many of those close to me would say “it’s not right.” They would caution me about going forward. I did not listen to them. In fact I dismissed them. I reasoned that they just didn’t know what I knew. They didn’t have all the facts. They were making reasonable statements which were no where near interfering, but from where I was standing they just didn’t know what I knew. At the time I was using this reassurance to support my decision to move forward, but if you really examined ALL that I knew, not just the selective memories I was choosing at the time to support my position, there was much more support for their conclusion than mine.
Do what you think you have to do Dan. However.....make sure that this will not harm your relationship with your son. Consult with him first. Definitely you know a lot more than anyone else about your situation. Is it worth bringing up the past? I would never tell you what to do, the decision is up to you. I will love you always. Your Mom
