Tonight I dropped my 10 year old off at his dad’s house for his first sleepover there.He hadn’t been in his life since my son was a baby but around 18 months ago my son decided he wanted to get to know him.It has been a very hard road building trust and a relationship between them both (and me). Putting all my anger and disappointment aside was honestly one of hardest things I’ve ever had to do. My mum helped mediate for a while (she is a gem) to help us both to see how to navigate through this unknown.I honestly don’t know who was more excited, my boy or his dad! Today was something I didn’t think was ever going to happen and I am so proud of all of us for getting here.I needed to share this with people who may understand. I’ve had a lot of “finally!” and “well it’s about time he did something!” Which just don’t help keep it positive. I’m over the moon! His dad has a wonderful girlfriend and has built a lovely life for himself. I’m glad he gets to share it with our boy. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2QUm0zv
