[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 348145, member: 1514"] Well maybe Im not the right one to answer this question because my ex tried this on my son and I refused to play this game. My ex left me when Billy was around a year or so old. He didnt see him again until he was 8 or so. He called him one time when he was 7 and sent him a used radio for that Xmas. He tried at that point to tell him that he had been looking for him but that I had moved and he couldnt find him. Lie. I had always kept in touch with my ex's parents and told them my phone number. When he was 8, my ex's parents requested my son come visit them and my ex. I was hesitant but I felt my son was old enough to know our phone number and how to call the cops and us if there was a problem. Ex did try some mind games but my son came home ok. My son saw him twice more as a child. He talked to him online a few times as he grew up. Over the years he pretty much got his number. Ex talked a big game but never came through. Promises made and constantly broken. I finally told him just how things came about when he grew up. Ex tried to tell him different of course. Son was smart enough to see through it. He tried one last time to have a relationship with ex in 2005. Ex made huge promises and wanted him to come live with him. Billy went. Lasted about two weeks and he came home. Now he wants nothing to do with him. I think telling the truth is the right thing to do. You dont have to be ugly but the truth always is the way to go. As they say...the truth wins out. [/QUOTE]
