I have twin boys who are 5 and my best friend has a15yr old son. Sadly his dad wasn't around as she was the "other woman" and wanted her to have a termination. My son's dad wasn't around as we've not gotten on due to some of his past behaviours. Recently, we went to court and ironed some things out. He has now started to see the boys and to be honest, he's appearing to be a great dad. I can't fault him at the moment. He's also speaking to me in a very respectful way and we are co parenting well. We met up for a chat and I saw none of the hostility and arrogance he used to be unable to hide. We spoke for an hour and (although I'm waiting to see a long pattern of consistent good behaviour from him) it's looking promising. This is something I've longed for as it's been so stressful and my boys need a dad to teach them how to be men.
I saw my best friend this afternoon and I explained to her how the coffee meet up went and as I was telling her, she rolled her eyes and just remarked that he makes her sick and she said he was disgusting. I'm confused by this. Why would she respond n in this way to such a positive turn of events?
