[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 390205, member: 6546"] I think the answer must lie in the REASON the child is in the group home. I have a brother in law who is mentally challenged. He has to live in a group home because he is absolutely incable of living independantly....but he is a very sweet person. He has met me on numerous occassions, but really does not understand who I am - or why his brother keeps hanging out with me. My brother in law does not realize that I am a part of his family. This is OK. I do not take offense. IF the son is living in a group home for similar reasons, it might be better [I]not[/I] to meet him if he is incapable of understanding who you are and your relationship with his Daddy. It is entirely possible that a mentally challenged individual would react violently to a new woman replacing his Mommy. And IF this is the case, I cannot imagine the family trying to push your relationship onto the son, or even let him know about it. I think you need to find out WHY the son cannot meet you. Some things may be more clear to you after you find out the reason behind the strange request. [/QUOTE]
