[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 231368, member: 6326"] I guess both you and your son needs time to adjust as a family unit. In my country you could have asked for inpatient family therapy and would have been granted it due to your fiance's arrest. You cannot force him to accept your new choice of a partner and I believe that it is too soon to take a step into a more pernament relationship. The problem is not really your child but it is the family unit that is in need to have some issues resolved. You need to sacrifice some of your needs to solve this situation. That sacrifice is called parenting. I certainly would not push the situation or your son. You only risk pushing him away. Real love can survive a delay of marriage so I won't worry about your future husband. He also must realize that the boy have suffered a loss and needs time to adjust. Is there anything wrong by having him stay at your mother? Can he attend school from there while a plan is made to reunite you with some help from therapists? You call the headline "Runaway child" and while it is nothing you can be charged with here in my country, I believe that some of the States would put him into detention if you report him as a runaway. I would be a shame to involve the authorities in that way. Try to involve the authorities in a way where you allow him to live where he lives now until a plan is made up in order to have him moving back. [/QUOTE]
