[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 705765, member: 18958"] Are there neighbors, kids your son can play with? Is nature nearby? You said it was coastal, I think. I grew up right on the ocean. 3 houses away. Of course it was a different time but we were always running around playing, running, riding bikes, climbing fences...If it is a small town the neighbors know each other and watch out for each others' kids. My mother worked, was gone long hours. I was younger than your son. I grew up from 8 years old, cleaning house, making beds and beginning dinner, before I went out to play. 10 years old is old enough to take responsibility for some things, to make your life less lonely and easier. The pluses for everybody so much outweigh the minuses-I think-of his going with you. There is one thing I must stress. Change the custody arrangement legally. Maybe she would even be willing to give you sole legal authority and custody. Do not do this without protecting yourself and your child with all the force of the law. Your ex wife sounds cruel and vindictive. It would be a horrible outcome if she used the security that your son and you were to find--against you both--by seizing or trying to seize him back....There are ways to protect your child and yourself. With an attorney. This is child abandonment that she is threatening. Try to get a good attorney who will make sure she cannot walk this back. [/QUOTE]
