Thanks and I agree I've had those talks with him it bugs me that he had to grow up so fast though, Having to understand these things about his mom . He's 7 now and He's starting to show signs and make comments that let me know that He understands th…
The best advice I can give man is live your life and your son's as best you can.

I'm worried about what new obstacle is going to come my way. My son's mother Has been remarried for a little under a year and has a 9 month old .. everything had been settling down, I've had physical custody of our son for 5 years now and things are…
