My Son Is Failing School After Moving in with His Dad — I Just Found Out What’s Really Going on in That House
When my 14-year-old son, Mason, asked to go live with his dad after the divorce, I said yes. I didn’t want to. God, no. I wanted him with me. Every morning, every night. But I also didn’t want to be the reason he missed out on reconnecting with his dad. Mason missed Eddie. His fun, silly, pancake-making, backward-baseball-cap-wearing dad who always cheered way too loud at soccer games. Eddie said he was ready to be a real parent now. Said he was stable. Grounded. Wanted more time with his son.
