[QUOTE="Shari, post: 133544, member: 1848"] My difficult child 1 was a little younger, and BM's rights were never terminated, she just "disappeared", but would occassionally reappear at different points thru his life. I was always afraid the lure of the unknown would get the better of him when he turned 18, but I never tried to stop it. When she'd call after 18 months of absence and invite him to some new sibling's birthday party, I'd take him. Then she'd be gone for months at a time again. I figured even if the "draw" was there, nature would take its course with her. So far, it has. She didn't bother to show up at his high school graduation (15 miles away) but flew 1000 miles to see him graduate from MCRD. Cold doesn't begin to describe how difficult child acted towards her. And to my knowledge, he hasn't spoke to her since. The age is a little difference, but I guess i'd be supportive of his curiosity, and let him find out for himself what she's like. Would have been nice to been able to do it younger, when you had some ability to control, but this is where you are now. Love him. Be the bigger person. i bet he'll know who mom is in the end.
