[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People think you are a dude because you referred to yourself as a "dad" in an earlier post.

Why are you so opposed to the two of them having a relationship?

I am a social worker, and I have seen it all. You need to MYOB.[/quote]

I'm opposed to my flesh and blood having a relationship with anyone who's screwed him (and my sister) over. And Deadbeat's a lying deadbeat asshole. I can forgive what happened 18 years ago more than i can get over how he disappointed my nephew with the birthday gift at age 13. We were all open to giving Deadbeat a chance, thinking perhaps he'd grown. Instead, he sorely disappointed my nephew, doing more harm than good without giving him a 2nd thought.

Why are you acting like I'm the bad guy or that my feelings and concerns are invalid? I wonder how you would feel if this was your flesh and blood that YOU had sacrificed and loved from birth?[/quote]

They're not invalid, but you need to realize that this isn't about you. It's about your nephew and his need to know his father. That need is just as valid as any feeling of yours.[/quote]
