I have 13 yr old son and i know what it is like to be a single mom and your child does not have regular visit nor even communication even if i want my son to connect his dad. So me , I am pushing my partner to have a video calls everyday make an alarm everyday so wont forget to call his 5 yr old son .So he is a military and he visiting his son just right now to US for a month staying at his ex-wifes place just the 3 of them. And i am saying again I have no problem him seeing son spending time with his in fact I am the one making sure he is doing it...its just that concerning to mem, him staying too long at his ex wifes house as vacation this is the first time he left since we live together but when we were friends it was different but i was even doubting that time when he visits spend 3 weeks . My priority is to support my partner, Its just hard and concerning ..how does they play , go to park ding all things together ,happy family infront of their child etc ..I am trying and will do my best to not to entertain this thoughts but in my opinion its concerning .But I have to trust him and support him. When he comes back to me after a month would it be the same?Or I have just to prepare myself and what could possibly happen .What are your thoughts about this?

this is one of my concerns? doubts?

Does anyone from his home life know about you? His parents, siblings, friends other than the ones where he's posted now?

@ARichtGoodDram lets see in this visit ..i told him about that before he left, i tried to talk to him my thoughts...if he is taking time to figure out or whatever then maybe I have to give him time in this visot to finally introduce me to his ex wife nor 5 yr old child. if he didnt then I think what your saying is right !

and yes His parents knows about me and his brother were friends on facebook. Just the exwife havent been introduce .........nor to his kidd even just as his friend
