So, its going well so far.
He's said he wants to see JS and then JS' son when the time is right. He just wants to word his daughter up first. She knows about JS, but I don't think JS knows about his half sister. He said if I thought the news would be better coming from me, he'd like me to tell him..or he would do it. I've said I won't say anything until after he has spoken to his daughter and she's ok with the whole thing. Ali - I agree with your Dad. Its why I never say anything about the boys Dad, even when they pull the whole "if I lived with my Dad ..." |

haha...my kids used to pull that one on me till they actually did have to live with him for a couple of months. They were pretty happy to come home again I can tell you, and since then I've never heard another word about going to live with him.

Well...JS and his Dad are catching up before Christmas.
JS just wants me to come along initially. My sister will kill me, but I've been laying this foundation for the past few years and undoing all her damage. |

Your sister will get over it. I think you're doing the right thing, especially to go along with JS for at least the first meeting. xx

So, ducks, for you the angst really comes from your feeling that youre betraying your sister, huh?

That's not how I read it.
It's more about introducing a vulnerable young adult into a situation she can't control. And then if it goes wrong having to deal with her sister.

I wasn't saying that she's betraying her sister, to be clear... I was just thinking that, depending upon how her sister reacts when she learns that ducks involved herself in reestablishing the contact between her son and her ex... there may be some resentment, and I thought ducks would be concerned about risking the relationship she has with her sister....
no judgement. it's a sticky wicket to be sure.

11 years younger then Ducks. As she has 2 children I'm guessing that means he is in his 20s at least (!)

She already feels her sister has acted badly and her nephew has missed out accordingly. My opinion of what she has written only.

Jim - my sister and I aren't close at all, our relationship has been really strained for about 6 years..in fact we hadn't spoken for 4 years until earlier this year when Dad passed away. My 2 brothers won't speak to her at all because she's a selfish trollop.
I have been making an effort to mend my bridge with little results because if it isn't all about my sister, she's not interested. I know she's going to be really pissed at me, but this for JS is more important. I tried to add her on Facebook a month ago, i txt her to say i added on her Facebook...no reply. Now JS' Dad has sent me a friend request...i didn't want to accept until i had everything right with JS. JS is in his 20's, with a 5 yr old son who has learning and communication issues. He married his pregnant gf, but they separated 8 months later. Zen - JS knows his Mother is the issue, he figured that out 3 years ago. Families are so fucking complicated!! |

Through the course of this thread, it has become clear to me how many people don't actually read all the posts before they respond. lol
eta: or even the OP!
