[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 444000, member: 1550"] You are all so amazing. Thank you. I'm not going to bring up my grandson unless he does because I don't want him to think that he is the only reason I am doing this. I would want to see him again even if he had no children. The mediator is truly wonderful. For her, I may bring a box of Fannie Mae candy :) I am more than willing to listen to him talk about his anger (he does not express himself well) and he can criticize me and it will not upset me. I just want to iron this out. I have missed him so very much. Although his wife and I did not get off to a good start, I look forward to getting to know her better. I am grateful to her for giving him a loving partner (herself) and the biological child that he desperately needed (he is my one adopted child who strongly identified with his roots...in his case he is Chinese as is his wife). His son will never have to suffer identity crises that I feel he did. This particular child is absolutely brilliant. He is not one to fight (nonconfrontational) and considering he lived in an orphanage until he was six, he has cut out an amazing life for himself. He is quite well off and successful and everybody loves him. He just seemed less attached to his parents than my other kids...I love him dearly though and am willing to work very hard on that. Whatever I may have done, I am so sorry I ever hurt him. I have no anger in me...just a mother's unconditional love. [/QUOTE]
