We were never married and paternity has been established. I have full custody-legal and physical and child support is paid and current. I worked out a visitation schedule in that our child would visit with dad in the summer for two months. We live 1200 miles apart now. I moved when child was 3-years-old. We used to drive half way to pick up and drop off however that became too much for me cost wise and now I am flying him. I did this because I knew that dad would not come here to pick up child and I wanted child to have that relationship. Dad has never thanked me for making this effort- he thinks that I have to do this. DO I? It says reasonable visitation in the custody paperwork. Anyway, child is now 15 and I know this relationship is important with dad. It has always been so hard to let child go for these two months- it just floors me. I never get over it. I really do not know why I do it. I call twice a week and they are usually not home. It is a two hour time difference. Last night I was up until 12 a.m. waiting for a call back. Am I being too sensitive of a mom for a 15-year-old? I have been told to let him go and quit calling so much, but I worry about him and when I do not hear his voice I get panicked. This year child seems annoyed when I call and gets short with me. Dad is not cooperative and I am sure lets child do whatever, but most of the time they are working. He takes child with him to work-self employed in a rural area. Now child wants to get drivers license out there and I just cannot seem to put my foot down and say no. I see my child becoming more like his father in that he disrespects me and my feelings and uses my sensitivy about the sitution against me. My child is sensitive when he is home with me and understands that I have trouble with this, but when he is with dad it all changes. Maybe it is just me, but how do I deal with all this. Does anyone else feel like this. I feel all alone and have been to see a therapist and he says to let the child go and have this relationship or he will move out there.

hello....please??
