Learning to Surf The Board |
First I would like to say, that my sons dad hasnt been around very much. He is not on the birth certificate. Well, he has been seeing our son lately, with me there (he has seen him maybe ten times and our son is almost three). Well, last night he asked when he could take him overnight or take him for a couple hours without me around. I dont feel comfortable with this at all!! My son doesnt know him very well, in the past he has been on drugs and such, and even tried to commit suicide. I am really worried about going to court. I have been a great mother to my son, and I love him with all my heart. But, I am hearing so much stuff on fathers rights groups and mothers rights getting taken away I worry...will this happen to us? Its terrifing! Help...I am driving myself half crazy!

"KARMA? What is that anyways?" Board Beacon Parent |
It is next to impossible for a father to have your rights taken like that. next he might want to have visitaions set up and over time he would get them because he is the father. first paternity has to be proven for it to be court ordered. and you would have to be an unfit mother for him to have your rights taken away. my advise would be let him see him. let him see his kid if he wants to take him over night let him know that he needs to get use to the kid first such as seeing him more often to familierize your kid with him so he is not scared. aslo be sure the father knows that drugs are never ok around a kid. if he is no longer on them than someones past is just that. its something from time ago not what they are now. if he is still on drugs say f no.

I think you have to go with your gut feeling on this.
If this man is unstable I would feel the same about leaving my son alone with him. You say he has been into drug abuse and was suicidal. This would be taken into account surely if it should eventually come to a court case? Sorry, I don't know anything much about US laws on this but Good luck with everything! |

I agree with Marielle about going with your gut feeling here, one thing I noticed since I joint here and in my own personal case its that we tend to be very selfish when it comes to sharing our kids with our exes. I'm guessing that id he hasn't been around much his checkbook hasn't either, if this is the case is something you can use.

I totally agree, women have GREAT gut feelings which are usually right. And at the end of the day, YOU are responsible for your childs saftey, and if (heaven forbid) you did allow your child to go with the dad, and something bad happened, you would not be able to forgive yourself for not listening to the alarms that rang in your head.
Maybe just say you are uncomfortable with handing him over untill he knows the dad and untill you guys have a stronger trust between eachother. Good luck hun! |
