[QUOTE="Jewlz0113, post: 443225, member: 12298"] April, We do have full custody of sds. He visits his mom every other weekend and every Thursday for dinner. I have been in his life almost 2 years. husband travels often for work and Bio-Mom (who by the way, is not his bio-mom - he was adopted by husband and his ex) has first right of refusal to have him when he goes out of town. She is always told of when he'll be gone and given the opportunity to have sds. 80% of the time she refuses, giving one reason or another why she can't do it. We ALWAYS not only encourage him to see Bio-mom, but insist. I am a firm believer that he should have a healthy relationship with his mother. Based on what I've seen, I'm not sure how healthy it is, but we do try to encourage. I am not, in anyway, shape or form, trying to take his mom's place. He has a mother... However, given how much I am a part of his daily life, I want to only do what's best for HIM. Some days I think I've got it all figured out. Others, I'm at a loss and pray that what I do is in his (as well as the other children's) best interest. You couldn't more right when you say blended families are murkey pools... Having a situation like this can make the water just downright muddy. Thank you for your input... [/QUOTE]
