Hi, my 13 year old son met his father's side of the family last year in June, for the first time. He had a wonderful time,had new clothes, new haircut, well taken care of, and came back begging me to go live there, now Im trying to decide if moving there would be a good move. It seem's the older that he get's, the harder it is to keep him entertained. He has 2 uncles there, a brother (22) and a sister(27) and numerous cousins, nieces and nephew's. I guess that I should pray about this. I kind of feel bad that he does'n't know them, but his father was physically abusive and I just left. I never told him about his father's anger issues, and i've never had a man put there hand's on me since. The rest of the family is fine, no anger issues or anything and his dad past away in june also. I guess that the thing that I'm worried about is that he's going to go there and decide that he want's to live there with or without me, because where we live now, its so boring. My father lives here with his family, but he's the same as he's alway's been, an absent father and an absent grandfather. I don't know, maybe I'm worrying too much, and maybe not.I kind of feel like I owe it to him to move there to give him a chance to get to know them, hes already missed out on so much. The only problem is that his brother does have anger issues and I would have to try to really moniter the time that he spend's with him. Any opinion's would be appreciated. |
