[QUOTE="DDD, post: 325933, member: 35"] You and your son have so many issues already on your plate that I can't see any benefit from sharing info about bioDad. As you have said, difficult child is getting increasingly nervous as the issues of his future are up in the air. Five years from now it might be worth reconsidering but in 2009 his Mom is his lifeline. You posted that he is stressed to the max worrying about what may or may not happen in the next few months. He has no control over where he lives, where he will go to school, who (if anyone) he will have to report to. That's a big bucket of worms for any young teen. From personal experience I believe my difficult child (the younger boy) is far better off not knowing his bioDad at all compared to easy child/difficult child who had contact for a few years and subsequently ended up heartbroken when he moved away. It is my sincere belief that easy child/difficult child ended up with substance abuse issues and turning to the wrong path due to the rejection. Taking a chance of kindling thoughts of "what if" is not worth the risk. DDD [/QUOTE]
