    yes. A snag indeed. There's more to the story. His mom wasn't as helpful about any of this as was possible. Using a mothers guilt tactic , he made the decison to return home. I do hope that he knows now , without question, that he can talk to me.

    And this experience, brief as it was, let me know I should be better prepared for this to come about again. And I believe it will. SO , I need to be patient and hope for the best.

    I appreciate those who were complimentary and so very encouraging. Means alot. Thanks.

    You can be a huge influence on him still, perhaps weekend outings etc most especially if he has no other male role models.
    My son and I were super close even during the terrible teens, we still are. My daughter drew closer to her father during those times. Maybe the Oedipus thing.
    It might not be quilt that takes him back to his mother but responsibility and love and vice versa of course on Mama's part. I hope their bond is strong, it can be the saving grace.
    Good luck to you all.... in 10 years it will all be history.
