Will They Abduct My Son!
by 68storm ini would appreciate some input from the board that is weighing quite heavy on mind.. as some of you may know, my ex divorced me six years ago, strictly for religious reasons.
after an enormous amount of legal funds, i succeeded in getting an agreement signed that states that when the child reaches an age that the courts consider mature enough, we would both allow him to make his choice of religions.
even if he wanted nothing to do with religion.. it would seem that the time has finally arrived.

I am simply my son's 'dad'
by Simon inone of our neighbours had a nasty car accident (but was ok) and had to leave earlier to get the train to work.. she brought her daughter round in the morning as angharad had agreed to take her to school with our two and she is in dylan's class (our youngest).
she is absolutely gorgeous and her and dylan are inseperable.
he got into trouble last week for fighting (he's three and a bit) but we have since found out that the lad he pushed over had been picking on his little friend (that's my boy .

Awww Simon,
What a sweet story And Angharad's comment made me LOL . I know what you mean tho. Last week, I took the kids to a fall carnival and we ran into a friend of Delaney's from school. I was "Delaney's mom" and the friend's father was "Cory's dad" the rest of the evening. Come to think of it, we never did exchange our names LOL
It's cool tho isn't it? You're anchored in space because you're Dylan's and Liam's dad; anchored in a different space because you're Harry's hubby, too, but it's not the same realm as the one you inhabit solely because you're a dad. And just think, that tether that links you to them both now is short and, as they grow, it will stretch and grow longer but it will ALWAYS be there, always connecting you. Isn't being a parent wonderful?

Governing Body Workout Schedule
by Beans inin order for the governing body to have a clear conscience every morning they are required to participate in a regimented workout program so the body of the governing can direct the flock!
we sent in some undercover agents to bethel last week to document this insightful event and here is what they found.. first things first, "morning beverage at bethel" they skip the coffee!.
then the secretary gives some uplifting encouragement.

Do You View Your Fellow Posters As Your Friends?
by minimus inis this just a board to you?
do you really care about the people here?
have you made "real" friends here??
-

safe4kids
Well, you'd have to define "friends" first, I guess. But I've met quite a few people from this board in real life, and I consider most of them my friends. Interestingly, 2 of the people I've met here I consider very close friends, even tho I only see them rarely. I share laughter, tears, and minutae about life with them, and I love them dearly (((((Outnfree and HadEnough))))).
And before you start bitching at me, ((((((Venice and Sloan)))))), I love you guys too! Geez, there are a few more that I feel very close to...but they know who they are (I hope) and they know that they are important to me.
Seriously, tho, I think it can be easy for those of us who left the Borg to fall into the trap of having only online friends and neglecting the real life people around us. I know that I did...to my detriment. As Matty said, I feel like I've really had to work hard to develop social skills b/c I sure as hell didn't learn them as a dub!

I am so sorry to hear of all the stuff you and your son are going through. He's such a great kid, and I so enjoyed meeting him; it saddens me greatly that he's having to deal with all of this when childhood should be about ... well, childhood stuff.
I don't know about them abducting him, although I think that they would have to be nuts to attempt it. Thats a sure way for your exwife to lose custody of him altogether. However, what strikes me most in reading your post is the mental and emotional anguish your son must be feeling (and you, too). The visit with the psychologist is a great idea, assuming he/she is a competent one. I echo what Metatron said, and add only that it's imperative your son knows that it's okay for him to speak freely and openly to you and the psychologist about what he wants, not what he thinks you or his mother wants him to do. This can be so hard on a child; they often feel torn between making both their parents happy, and obviously there is no way for him to do that in this situation.
How does your son feel about going to court and stating his true feelings? How does he feel about seeing the psychologist? If he is really upset about doing these things, would there be any major harm done in delaying it awhile? Would you still have access to him? Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just trying to imagine what I would want to know if I were involved in a similar situation with one of my children.
At any rate, it's obvious to me that you love your son very much and I know that he is aware of that too. IMO there is nothing more important for a kid to know. I wish you both the best (((((((Storm and son)))))).

there's just something about packing a tin can with people and luggage and then flying it at 39,000 feet that will always bother me.
Jack! That's exactly how I feel about flying; man, when I'm up there looking down and thinking about how high we all are with only a fragile metal shell around us.....yikes! It frights me somethin' fierce!

Hey Coffee,
I knew some Singletons and Flemings...did you know Dick Singleton and his wife? I can't remember her name and I also can't remember the first names of the Flemings, but they were pretty good friends of the Richters and we would all get together and go skiing on the lakes nearby. The other names mentioned rang faint bells, but that was so long ago and I'm old now! LOL
