I told @Tdub0199 when I first found out about this because we have known each other since high school but thought I would share it with everyone now that things have fallen into place(well almost everything except being on hold with Qantas as I'm posting this).
I have a 14 yr old son who has been in Australia most of his life with his mother. Been a huge struggle to see him on average of once a year but I've done it. He came over at Christmas this year for a month and first thing off the plane he asked if he could live with me. I said we would work on it but wasn't able to get everything worked out in time for him to stay so I sent him back at the end of January. Well, to make a long story short, he arrives in Detroit on Friday the 13th to live here. Got word this week to get him a flight.
I wanted to tell everyone this for two reasons. One is first thing he's learning about American football is that the gaturds s u c k and it's ok to hate them. 2nd, and I'll probably catch hell for this statement by some, if you are a parent who doesn't at least try to stay in you child's life, you don't deserve to call yourself a mom or dad. Sorry about that last rant but it's been building up for 13 years but next Friday will make it all worth it.
And yes I'm beginning to get in a very foul mood. Made two other calls while I've been on hold just to kill time waiting on Qantas.😂
