hypothetical: calling all evil vagina monsters

[Duchess]

kid has already been abandoned by mommy and daddy and is beginning to notice. As the primary daddy figure in his life, but with zero legal power, I don't have a say in any part of what she does or does not choose to let happen. I've been through this rodeo before. One of the hazards of getting too attached to other people's kids.

Donovan, she loves her grandchild and will want what's best for him and right now that is not losing you. Surely she will allow you time with the little one. I would imagine that he views your son in a big brother kinda way and that can be considered a loss as well. It would be nice if you and your son can continue to spend time with him even if it's a day spent eating and watching sports or playing games. It doesn't matter what you do, simply that he sees you as being available. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.
