It could be that his son needs to talk to him a little about it to get his head back on straight.<BR/><BR/>SB and I have had to talk about some major issues with his daughter. To some extent we need to protect them--they don't need to sweat the little stuff that we go through. But they need to know the big stuff, even if it's hard.<BR/><BR/>My 2 cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362182565496754949.post-91583176841324199552009-02-07T17:56:00.000-06:002009-02-07T17:56:00.000-06:00I agree with LAW about telling him. You have to. ...I agree with LAW about telling him. You have to. <BR/><BR/>As for the Swiss Jr., at 14, he's capable of making the choice. The judge will probably want to know/need to know, particularly if it involves child support, which, based on what I hear, it most definitely WILL. Sounds like Jr. is going back to mom, but she only wants him for the $$$ she's been missing.<BR/><BR/>There's no telling what will happen, but the Judge will probably say that the mom will be custodial since Swiss is gone. It's a TOUGH place to be in right now.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956372504248127591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362182565496754949.post-53910444309140175032009-02-07T06:41:00.000-06:002009-02-07T06:41:00.000-06:00I thought about this last night - and first of all...I thought about this last night - and first of all, the boy is 14, and at that age, they change their minds more often than their socks. Believe me, I had one of those little monsters. He'll probably do a few weeks at mom's.. and want outa there (or she'll want to boot his ass out, they try the patience of everyone around them and she doesn't sound like she'll fight to keep him at home)<BR/><BR/>As for telling him. I still think you need to. He obviously had a problem with the ex keeping things from him. So you may need to be more transparent than most, just so he realizes that you AREN'T the ex. But how to tell him - can you let him know that Jr is trying to re-establish a relationship with mom, but leave it at that, until the actual custody hearing or whatever is happening? Or - maybe Jr should tell him? Will the Judge or whomever want an affidavit from Swiss - since Swiss was the custodial parent? To have something decided without his input - he could see it as a denial of his rights as a parent. <BR/><BR/>my 2 cents.<BR/><BR/>LAWliberal army wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182419669662838404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362182565496754949.post-29998411400539185692009-02-06T17:40:00.000-06:002009-02-06T17:40:00.000-06:00I'd tell him.
