I pray that my boys come back to me.
When my kids first moved in with me I was anxious and uneasy around them because I could sense by their words and action that they did not want to be there with me. At that time the weeks they were at my house were frustrating because I could never figure out what to say or do with them to make it better and the weeks when they were not there were more relaxed and enjoyable because I was with Dave.
When they left February 3, 2008 I was heartbroken. I cried for many months and remain very sad to this day. I finally got a court order that said I had them on alternating Tuesdays and every other weekend, however, that hasn’t happened once.
I don’t want to make them or force them to come to my house by giving them ultimatums. I realize that at their age they are busy with school and friends and it’s no fun to visit mom. But I also see the danger of losing a relationship with my kids if I don’t start seeing them on a regular basis soon.
I want to communicate the need for a relationship between mother and son to them. I want them to understand that they have to stay in contact with me to have a relationship and not just call me for rides or to buy them something.
