So it happened. Ds has been home 9 months and bm lives in the next town. There was something happening in our town today and we found ourselves stood very close to birth mum. It was a bit of a shock as we did not know how she or our ds would react. I was able to shield him from view and take him away before they seen eachother but it was just such a shock. It would have been so difficult for all involved had she noticed him or him her.
I feel awful tonight knowing they were so close and I went out my way to make sure she did not see him (for his sake). It is also strange to put a real face to her. I have seen photos but seeing her in real life she looked so fragile. Just a strange strange day. Has this happened to anyone else?
