Quote - Thank you all for your support.

I was able to talk to Patrick on the phone last night and after a couple of hours he relented on being able to see my stepson... He is going to let me have him next Monday and all the following weekend

That's great news!  The poor boy shouldn't be caught in the middle of adult disputes. I'm glad that he's seeing this and is doing what is best for your son :)

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
