[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 539878, member: 84"] I'd opt for either the lawyer returning the call. You've been dealing with an unstable difficult child all these years. Going off medications seems to be his major issue. It *might* be that X is finally stable, sticking to medications and treatment, and is hoping to start a relationship with his boys. Notice I said *might*, and we both know if he IS stable it could last years, or until the next time he decides he doesn't need medications. The latter is what you're dealing with. I wouldn't be inclined to stand between a parent and a child unless there are abuse/neglect issues or their behavior is just so off the wall mental as to affect said child in a very negative way. Why? Because in in my humble opinion every child has a right to know their parent, even if they're an absentee parent most of the time. Unless it's going to cause harm to the child, a child should get a chance to know a parent for who they are. The boys are old enough to have their bio's dxes explained to them......that even should they get in touch with him it might not last long due to his issues ect. I'm for giving a person the benefit of doubt. Much of X's reason for not being around the boys could be simply because he doesn't want to expose them to him unstable.....or perhaps unstable he is off in his own world so to speak (who knows). I say this because while they're not interested at this time in having a relationship with bio........it [B]will[/B] happen, probably within the next couple of years. So prepare yourself.
