feelings that it was all in my head and even my son told me i was dillusional right before he stopped talking to me and cut all contact.His mother moved him away to another state when he was 4 basically without more than a few days noticed after i had relocated closer to him to spend more time together, there was no history of abuse and i was paying support so that was a red flag anyway but hes 29 now and i
feel like ive pretty much lost him forever.im in another location i moved to be able to see him more after my parents died in 2008 (
about a month apart) but that has turned into a disaster since he no longer wants contact.He has a half brother here by myself and my present wife but my youngest son is mentally disabled and unable to take care of himself, myself and my 2 sons are all that is left of my family i have no other relatives anymore and i
feel horrible for anyone else who has to go through this.
