[QUOTE="johnz, post: 649751, member: 18814"] Hi Nancy, Yes that did bother me too! Why wasn't I ever kept in the loop and in their lives is beyond me. I did speak with him last night, he actually called me and said he was ready to make a change and come live with me. He's getting a few things in order and driving here. He asked about employment and other opportunities that were here. So it sounded positive and his mother confirmed today that he wanted to live with me. I'm praying he follows thru with his plan and he's with me by the end of the week. This will give me a little time to figure out how to handle this properly and not scare him away. He said he was excited to meet my side of the family. I did assure him that they do not know about his jail time and his addictions. I think that would make it worse right now especially if they try to lecture him and unintentionally make him feel like a bad person. I was excited and terrified at the same time when he talked to me. For 10 yrs I always wondered how I would handle this day and it seemed easy at the time and now as it approaches I'm at a slight loss on what to say and do. Thx! [/QUOTE]
