Well i have to say that i have survived and actually had a nice few hours with the ex!!Shock horror!!and his new wife and his parents, what a family afair it was!!

DS saw daddy staright away (recongnised him from the picture) and flew at him like a bat out of hell shouting daddy daddy daddy!!It was hard to see but i was happy for my son!! Daddy gave him a football and DS was so happy he was introduced to people and i was to the new wife she bought me flowers!!So straight away it all seemed very happy very relaxed and fun for Jack. He was so daddy daddy daddy and that was great. He took a bag of bits and bobs to show him and a picture he had done! I just sat and let him do what he wanted talking to everyone and his mum and dad were great. They have wanted this for so long! So i had my doubts and this is the first step only but it was the biggest! DS and Daddy had their picture taken and even the ex said its like looking in the mirror!

So thank you all for your encouraging words and i will keep you updated on the latest! I hope its all positive! DS is overjoyed and feels proud i think. Well thats the impression im getting!! Glad its over and im looking forward to some feedback from the ex etc!!

Much love to everyone!! From a very releaved Claire xx i still feel im in control too which is good!! xx

Awww, that is really lovely, Claire, well done! It sounds like your DS had a lovely time, and you are a great mum for going through with this for him.

Your little boy is very lucky to have such a loving, unselfish and emotionally mature mother.


I'm pleased it went so well for all involved
especially you and your ds.

Gosh what a great mum you are.

Ever time my dad came to collect me and my dbs my m and d fought like mad - it was awful, I will never forget it and this all happened over 30 years ago!!

Keep on going, I imagine it must be tough but good on you, your son will realise one day what a very special mum he has
