[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, the bottom line here is that a new relationship is very consuming emotionally. A new relationship can be like a drug, and now your son is contending with dealing losing a lot of your attention AND the attention of his mentor. Ouch.

Even if he only comes over occasionally, how much time do you spend pre-occupied with him? Whether you choose to admit it to yourself or not, this impacts your son.

I get that you want to be in a relationship again, and your life and happiness matters too. But please work hard to acknowledge how all of this is impacting your son and focus on minimizing his discomfort as much as possible.

When you talk about receiving tips to get your son to accept your new relationship, it sounds like you are more focused on minimizing your own discomfort and inconvenience, instead.

If he feels like your first priority in his heart, I'm sure everything will go a lot more smoothly for all parties.

I attend all sporting and school events with them, car pool, take them to school, friends etc.. regardless of "who's day it is".  My kids and I do things together just as, and well as just hang out doing nothing just us. [/quote]
