Im so happy...my son is home with me....... :)

So will he stay there until you move in the summer?. I am glad both of you are happy to see each other. I wondeer how long it will take your ex to open his eyes.

How about his school? If I'm not mistaken you mentioned before that he goes to a private school in the States. Is he going to continue schooling in Mexico until he moves back to the States with you later this year?

Oh Maria, that's just great! I can imagine how happy you are and your son! You will have so much to talk about. I hope his father will come to his senses and realize he will lose this boy forever if he doesn't. I'm glad your brother is around to help him through this and make it a little more bearable for him. Again, very happy for you!

At least, he has a mother who loves him very much. Teen boys need strong women in their lives more than they need a father--especially a father who would choose some controlling creature such as that over his own child. Enjoy having your son with you and quit worrying so much about your ex seeing the light regarding the situation. Having a happy family life is what is important.

I have a 15 yrs old son too, although he will be 16 in 10 days. How dreadful it must be to have had him so far away. You can just imagine how happy I am for you. My son is just at his friend's house 1/2 km from my house and slept there last night. He is not back yet but will be back in time for sunday dinner. I miss him and yet he is so close. Your heart and soul must be so happy to have him close to you. Hug him every day, tell him you love him every day. And mean it. It is so important for our children to know this, yet so many parents out there don't bother. Happy mothering!

Congratulations dear. It means that you are going to have fun. Just enjoy & try to cherish each & every single moment.Give him so much love that he should not feel the absence of his father. Pamper him & make him realize that what he means to you. I know being a kid, he is too small to understand this but still mothers love is magical...so utilize it. Good luck.

Wonderful news my friend, and I know your bond with your son is a close and special one. My father was never around for me emotionally, so I never wanted or needed my dad, my mum provided with everything I needed and that is why we have a close bond even though I am 42 this year! I guess his dad will smell the chillis unless he's like my dad and 100% stubborn!

It is good that he is with you. It is also sad that he and his Dad are on the outs. I know you were worried about his interrupting his schooling and leaving friends, etc., but hopefully being with you will make that better.

It's different feelings when you see and hug your son. I already experience it lately after I saw my son came out from his mom womb.

hi maria I am so glad for yu as he did need his mom.That thing with his dad is so sad. No boy that age wants to think his dad does mot care for him.Yes I too hope his dad wakes up and smells the chilli.oh that makes me hungry lol lol we had sauerkraut and sausages for lunch and it was okay but I really want some chili instead sad. lol

He'll have to get by with an Uncle (or several Uncles, as I sorta had to ... my own father not being able to see past his own 'banner' (Oh, my parents didn't divorce until I was either moved-out or 'living alone' (like the young girl of The Beatles' "She's Leaving Home" ... "She's leaving home after living alone for so many years ...")) But I was never as 'proud of my father' as I am of my mother's brothers (one of whom being my Baptismal Godfather). Though my dad's legacy was accounting- & though I had dreams of being a music-star (sort of a cross between Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith) & Andrew Lloyd Webber (Broadway-musical composer)-, part of me always wanted to be a Determan (my mother's maiden-name, German for 'work-debt family,' I think). My mom's dad was one of the original engineers at an automobile-factory here. That's where many of my uncles started, moving on to work-management jobs (most-notably SEARS Carpet Cleaning & Uphostery Care). But I wish I had someone to lead me into an industry, an industry I could go on to lead others into!

A 14 year old boy needs his dad??? What dad? That man that is not interested in him at all? Sorry to say but a man like that doesn't even deserve to be a dad. It's better to have one parent who cares as ... Sounds to me he is way happier with his mom also.

Awww, he misses his mama! It's so sweet, and I can just imagine your happiness. I hope that despite what happened, his dad would still remain active and a constant figure in your son's life. I agree with you that he needs his dad while growing up, but he doesn't need the trouble. He's in a much better home now with you.

Ohh that's great.I followed your previous discussions also regarding your problems and at last your son is with you and I am 100% sure that he is with you because of your love and wishes and that works as attraction for him.Now you had to give him the love of dad as well as mom and you have to take all the responsibilties .You can't just think of you ex you had to go ahead and just wish he be back in your life as early as possible.So good luck again and now enjoy your life.

I think it's important that your son is with you and away from his father at this time. He has been put through a terrible ordeal where his father has let him know that he is not so important as this other woman. The way he handled your son was so wrong and it must have made your son feel terrible. He is at the age where he needs to know above all else that his parents love him; to know that he is special and has worth. It's best that he is with you now because his father is clueless.

HI Maria! It is nice to hear that union of your son with you has made you happy. I hope while staying with you he would feel more secure and safe and as a mother you could take better care of him rather than his father. He may miss his father but a 'mother' is strong enough to give love of both the parents to her children. All the best.

Maria, I am so happy to hear that your son is home with you. I do understand that a boy does need his dad. My three older boys grew up without their father. He was in the military and after we separated he was stationed over seas and he never stayed in contact with them. He finally got back into their lives after several years and they did not ever forget it. My oldest son is now 23 and he only sees his dad on major holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas and sometimes Easter). They don't really have that much respect for him because he was never around. I hope his dad wakes up and smells the chillis too! Now, I am way behind on MyLot but does this mean that you are not moving to the US now?

I missed this post, Maria! I read in one that your son was with you, but I thought he was visiting for vacations. Are you now going back to Las Vegas or are you going to stay in Mexico? I know that teen, specially if they are boys, need their fathers. Let`s hope all works out well!

That is awesome news Maria. I am glad for you and him. Yes a boy that age does need his father. Hopefully at some point he will realize that his son is more important then the new wife. And maybe one day my evil ex will wake up as well. One day at a time.

what a great news! i wish your son stay long with you and no more fight are come between you both, God bless you
