Dear Stickywater,
Thank you for posting. I realize that you are in a very tough place and I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you. I am so thankful that you are working on yourself and that you are so much stronger and healthier emotionally than you were before she left. I think you are in a great place and that you can trust your gut and you will make the right decisions for your son. You already are making sound decisions, which is wonderful. If you dont mind my suggestion, I would say pray about it....non-stop. It's the only way I can ever make a decision, especially one as serious as this. Hope this helps....but know that in the meantime, I am praying for you!
