My husband and I and our children will be moving back to Connecticut. We have been living in New Hampshire now for 3 years. We got asked to move in with them by my mom as my mom is having a hard time doing the simpliest of tasks. She could really use our help around the house.

Now, what the hard part is my husband has full custody of his son who is 6 1/2. He says he loves livng with mommy (meaning me) and daddy. He refers to his biological mom as her first name. This was his doing and nobody elses. He chose to start doing this a year ago. His real mom has a court case the size of a thick dictonary. My husband told her that we are moving to CT and she threw a fit saying she will never see her kid again. To me that means nothing to me. She is suppost to take him every weekend after school and half the time if not more she is dropping him off by 6pm friday night saying she cant handle him. She has things against her ranging from inproper supervision, unsantitary living enviroment down to child neglect. I know she wont win in the court room to stop us from moving as the judge already told my husband as long as she gets written notice 30 days prior to moving we're in the clear. The judge here has "felt bad" for her in everyones eyes, because of what she has against her anybody else would have already been behind bars. Now once we move to CT I know they wont "feel sorry" or "feel bad" for her. I was born and raised and they do not tolerate anything. I have a feeling she might even get her legal rights removed from her youngest son (my stepson).

Here is where I get confused. My husband asked me if she did get her rights pulled and her name would obviously be taken off the birth certificate if I would adopt him and put my name there. I will do it regardless as he has been "my son" for the last 3 years. I have done everything for that child with no help from his biological mother. I taught him to right a bike, I brought him to get his first pair of glasses, I bring him to his doctor appointments and so on. My husband does do some of the appointments but he works to provide for us. I just want to see what other Mylotters think about this situation. Would I be doing the wrong thing? I love this child as much as I love my own 3 daughters. He has called me mommy since he was just 18 months old. What do you all think. Try not to be too rude please. Thank you everyone for your input. Sorry this is so long. But this is the story of my life. happywub

I think you should stand up for what you believe is right. I think you have a very noble heart. Maybe you should talk some sense into him. I hope you will be patient and hope for the best.


myLot reputation of 71/100. magrylouyu (1024)   ranked 987 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

See to me I think it would be the best thing. I have been a huge part of his life since we found out about him. My husband was never married to her. We had split for 8 months while we were alot younger and she was 2 months pregnant with their son and never told him until the baby was 18 months old. Then a year later my husband got custody. Thank you for your response.

Wow, rough stuff. I am responding because I know littleton very well and loved it, I actually moved there when I first moved up here from Ct. I live in Lancaster now, but anyway....it's a heck of a culture shcok isn't it. Sorry to see you have to head back "down buh-low" after 3 years of the north country. this really is a great place to raise kids.
Not gonna comment much on the rest, but if you are all ok with it....go with it...no one can tell you how right or wrong it is for you, it's a decision you have to come to yourselves as a family.


myLot reputation of 71/100. magrylouyu (1024)   ranked 987 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

Oh yes, I have truely grown to love the North Country. I am going to cry when we do move. I have made such wonderful friends up here as well as my children. I do miss Connecticut in a way... But it's just not the same as up here. Thank you for your response. It is a hard descison to make that will last a life time. I am going to make the best of what I have.


myLot reputation of 77/100. xfahctor (5292)   ranked 2,159 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

May I ask what brought you up this way? I didn't have much choice, my parents wanted a change of scenery for us ( I was living in Torrington....nuff said) and I was a teen at the time.


myLot reputation of 71/100. magrylouyu (1024)   ranked 987 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

We moved up here so my husband could get custody of his son... which it did work too. The only way he could get even attempt to get custody was if he lived in town so that's just what we did. Now... On to the Torrington part.... that is just funny as all crap!! I'm origionally from Barkhamsted! haha so we probably have crossed paths at a point in time lmao.


myLot reputation of 77/100. xfahctor (5292)   ranked 2,159 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

lol...not in CT though, I was living up her before you were born...
I remember barkampsted though, nice place. There was a private camp ground there decades ago my family used a lot, place called "Warner's Grove", doubt it's there any more though.


myLot reputation of 71/100. magrylouyu (1024)   ranked 987 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

Ohhh. Yeah there is White Pines and Peoples state foreset. It is a nice place though.


myLot reputation of 77/100. xfahctor (5292)   ranked 2,159 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

OMG! OMG! PEOPLES!!!!! I LOVED peoples! I was an avid "tuber", it was a great place to launch. Used to do the george a lot....lol prolly a lot smaller than I remember it, I was young then but it seemed like a pretty intense ride back then.


myLot reputation of 71/100. magrylouyu (1024)   ranked 987 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

lmao I'm sorry but you seriously just made my day. I cant stop laughing. But yes peoples is still a pretty busy place. The water isnt too deep though. One place I used to love going as a young teen was Santans Kingdom in New Hartford. That place was pretty great too.


myLot reputation of 77/100. xfahctor (5292)   ranked 2,159 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

Satans kingdom was a BLAST, scared the hell out of me but still a blast and yes, I did that in a tube too, lol...we were a wreckless lot.
Anwya, glad to have made ya chuckle....I was just tickeled to hear about the place again, so many memories there. Used to camp across the river too at american legion, it wasn't fancy but it was camping and it was on the river.

Hello Magrylouyu. I think you have more rights then this child's birth mother has. She gave up that right when she didn't take that child when her and her ex divorced. I hope and pray that everything works out so that you can have your name put there on his birth certificate. Sounds like this child is in a lot better home and your right the law needs to stop feeling sorry for this woman. Hope your move to CT goes smoothly and don't worry things being done the right way always wins in the long run. Take your prayers to God He will give you this child without the other woman. Hope you and yours have a great day!thumbup


myLot reputation of 71/100. magrylouyu (1024)   ranked 987 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

They were never married. They were together for just 8 months. We were together for 2 years split for 8 months and got back together. But thank you for your response. I hope everything works out too and I cant wait to have a judge that wont just feel sorry for her. I think things will go much smoother.


myLot reputation of 93/100. free_man (506)   ranked 14,093 out of 14,925 in parenting  1 month ago

I hope that the judge can see past her lies and take this child into consideration for his better welfare. I think this child should be with you and your husband, this woman sounds like she is full of BS and has the judge wrapped around her finger. I think I would request another judge can't you do that? Any way that child would be better off in a family environment and learning the good values of life. Good luck and hope things works out real soon!thumbuphappy
