Hi, I don't want to seem stupid and overdramatic but I suppose i;m just looking for a little reassurance. My ex left me for another woman last year,it was a crappy time for my son and me. My son is 19 and as any mother is/would be I'm protective over him even though I'm well aware he's an adult, he's still my boy. My son hasn't seen a lot of his dad. His dad moved in with his girlfriend in a rough area. His dad has maybe seen him sometimes once a month or every six weeks. I have said many times that he could be seeing more of him. I know my mother in law hated the area that my husband has gone back to. So yesterday his dad rang him which is unusual in itself cause he doesn't normally do that. My son has just came downstairs and told me his dad is coming to pick him up and his dad and his friends are going out in the shitty area they live in. I genuinely don't want my son going drinking somewhere awful, the kind of place if you happen to look at someone a fight will start. My other worry which is getting to me the most is how my son is excited to go. He's so chuffed to be seeing his dad. I should be so pleased for him but I'm not, we've had a crap year, we've really struggled and I have been there when my son has been angry, when he's broken is heart, we've been through it all together. I'm worried his dad will just not see him for another year. My boy still thinks his dad is his hero bless him. I feel sick at the thought he's going to think his dad taking him out drinking is great and its more fun than being at home. Sorry if this makes no sense, I just needed to get it off my chest. I suppose I'm just being a bit jealous which I know is stupid as I'm the one who has complained that his dad hasn't seen much of him. I've always wanted him to keep his relationship with his dad, I know he loves him but for some reason I'm feeling rubbish about it all. Sorry for a bit of a pointless post, if anyone listens then thank you.
