No matter what happens in court, you just make sure you stay alive, healthy, and free until he turns 18. Then he can see you whenever he wants. Hopefully, you won't have to wait nearly that long but that's the absolute worst-case scenario.

The impression I get is that he knows the score and isn't buying any bullshit his mother might be feeding him. Just hang in there.

Awww. *sniff*

I'm just glad you got to see him. Ss much as the situation is killing you it must have done your heart good to see his smiling face.

That is a good-looking kid. Bit shaggy, but you should see mine right now.

I am so damn glad you got to see him. If I hadn't been able to see my kids over the years, I have no idea what I'd have done.

Agree with Radarrider, he knows you and what's going on. Hold on, guy.

Fine looking boy, Rob.

And a fine, strapping lad he is, too.

Boy. You can sure tell who his daddy is. He looks just like you. Well, except for the hair. 'Course, I'm comparing his photo to yours in your 'You look mahaaaavelous' post. heh.

Well, at least it ain't a mullet.

That last paragraph you wrote, there? Rob, that's all that matters, that mutual feeling. He'll never outgrow it, and it's just as strong through an (unfair, temporary) seperation. Everything else is so much window-dressing.

He's a fine boy with a good heart. He knows who his daddy is, and he loves him. End of story.

My God! He's grown so much! Yeah, he needs a haircut, but that can be taken care of later.

Hope you got in a bunch of big tight hugs.

I'm so genuinely happy for you. That must have been like getting your heart back in a gift-wrapped box after it ripped away and stolen.

I drove every other Friday for an hour each way just to pick up my girl and bring her home for Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning. I did this for 16 years. Now she's a grown woman, she loves her dad and she drives to come see me.

Dude, there is an end in sight, it seems so long, but it gets here so quickly.

They're always yours. Always will be.

wowsers-what a cutie--next time you take a pix--put the sun behind his back so he ain;t a squintin' quinton--oh lord-forgive me!

"Man, this stuff depresses the shit out of me sometimes, because I see no end in sight."

Bullshit! In seven years you can tell the Bloodless Cunt to go fuck herself.

I lived apart from my dad for my entire youth. We saw each other maybe once a year. I bawled my head off everytime we had to say goodbye.

Hang in there, Rob. Like a kidney stone, "this, too, shall pass."

In the meantime, put some facial hair on the boy, a little gray on his head, and a little lacquer on his toenails, and he would be your exact spittin' image. Holy crap.

Naw, he's much better lookin'.

Nice car behind that fine looking young man. You paying for that, too?

Know 'zactly where you are coming from...on the ass end of 14 years of that crap. Upside was, the older of my two sons had enough of his mom some time back, and has been with me for the last 5 years. All A's and B's, jazz music scholarship, and almost too good looking to be mine (my aunt always said the men in my family wasn't much to look at, but durn sure threw pretty puppies...). Also happens to be a fine shot with his short barreled 44 Blackhawk. Younger son worries me...his goofy mother hasn't set much of an example, so the road may still be pretty shitty up ahead. Keep your chin up, show the boy a good example, and you'll have done all in your power to put him on the right road. After that, it's up to him and the man upstairs.
God Bless....
