I could use some prayers heading into next weekend. I'm meeting with my 20 year old son who I haven't seen in 10 years. He has many questions. I hope I can provide the answers he needs. I'm nervous AF.
My ex-wife turned my 2 sons against me when we got divorced. It broke me down. They hated me because they were fed with lies. I fought the best fight I could, but my lawyer was costly and I couldn't afford to continue fighting a losing battle. It started with me giving her sole custody. We had joint custody, but my boys didn't want to see me over time and I wasn't going to force them. Things got so bad that I eventually caved into their request to let her new husband adopt them. I didn't want them to grow up blaming me for anything wrong with their lives. When I'd call my oldest son, he'd start yelling at me asking why I wouldn't let his new step dad adopt him. So yeah, I was pressured into the hardest decision ever. They were supposed to let me continue checking in via phone calls. As soon as the adoption was finalized, my ex's husband texted me telling me they were his kids now and if I called again, he'd be taking legal action. Not wanting to make waves, I stepped away completely.
Over the years, I tried to get messages through. It never turned out well though as the ex's husband always intercepted them. They told my boys that I wanted nothing to do with them. I also left messages for my oldest via FB Messenger, filed under Message Requests. Well, he found the messages a couple of years ago and they made him question everything. Here we are, about to meet...and I have a story to tell. I pray that I can deliver the truth in such a way that he's willing to forgive me.
