My sons dad wants to see Mateo.. i agreed a few days ago then i actually am having second thoughts . This is a man who once told me he moved out of Florida to get away from the heat even if it means being away from mateo, but here he is years later living in Miami.. hes also told me how he wanted me to terminate his rights because im to hard to deal with even though he didnt have to deal with me at all because he never made an effort to see mateo. All he had to do was leave me the hell alone.. a man who told me he doesn't care about being in mateos life because mateo wont remember and he eill be when hes older a man who broke into my house and scared my son half to death what in the world was I thinking .
If i did let him see Mateo. I dont even know how it would work seeing how he still lives so far away
I'd ask Mateo how he feels about meeting up with his dad, he's 12, old enough to decide, but still young enough to benefit from having a dad. I don't get why he wants to be a friend to his child when his child still needs a father... I would not drive 4 hours to take him to Miami though, smh, if he wants to see his child, he'd make the effort. He can find a way to come pick him up from your place and take him to Miami and then bring him back home.
He doesn't need to be taking him to Miami at all. He can easily make arrangements to go to Mateo for a few days. The child shouldn't have to do the work, he didn't leave and decide to come back, the bio dad did.
@bodybycheetos no, Mateo shouldn't have to go to go to Miami at all, if the father is really serious, he'll find a way to spend time with his son, even if he can't take him to Miami
Honestly, I would ask Mateo how he feels about it. Does he have any interest in meeting his bio dad? If so, I would personally make it known that he needs to make the effort, not have Mateo travel for 4 hours, bc who knows if he is serious? What happens if you guys do go and he blows you off?
