[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.   I'm sure it looks insane for me to have been considering sending him.  At the time that I had originally scheduled the trip my stepmother was in remission and my stepbrother was out of the picture.  I had other concerns about my son visiting, but I was trying to maintain the relationship.  The thing I really most regret about all of this was agreeing for him to visit them in the first place with everything that has happened in the past with my family.  [/quote]

O.k. it sounds as though things changed and you had to change your plans accordingly.  You made a mistake in mentioning your concerns about your stepmom's son at a time when her health was so fragile.  It would have been far better for you to either 1) Go with your son for the visit OR 2) Just not send him at all.

But things were tenuous, circumstances were changing daily and hind sight is 20/20 - it is ALWAYS easier to look back and say "Oh, I wish I would have done that differently given all that I know now."  If only we all had that power, right? But you can't undo what is done.

Just step back, let the dust settle.  Hang in there.[/quote]
