Lately there are a lot of things that have not turned out the way I expected. I mean my New Years Eve and New Years Day sucked big time. But that is a whole other story. One I will probably not share. Maybe I have unrealistic expectations, maybe they are too high. One thing I did not expect was the reaction that my son had when we told him that his Daddy is not his biological father. He was shocked, which I did expect that, but what I didn't expect was for him to tell me that he was glad that I chose Daddy and left what he calls his "biological whatever". He understands that our lives would be totally different if I had made a different choice, and he likes the way things are now. I am amazed and in awe. I do know that he will have more questions as he keeps getting older, and that the pain and anger that I feared may develop someday but at the moment it's "Alright for Now".

I am so glad that things are continuing pretty cool with the oldest. I am thrilled at his reaction so far.
Much love!
And great link. I couldn't remember that song, but first couple chords brought it all back. Love me some Tom Petty.
That is an amazing and wonderful reaction. I hope things continue to go well.
Well of course the holidays sucked, that's their job!
whew.
I'm glad that it went well {hugs}
I was thinking about you the other day. I'm glad it went well. He's an amazing kid.
I wondered how that turned out. I'm glad you wrote about it. I'm also glad that it turned out OK. Hugs.
Blogger just ate my last comment. I hope this doesn't end up being a double post.
Your son sounds like he's very mature for his age. I'm glad to hear things went better than you had expected.
I'm so glad that he handled it better than you feared. :)
It's nice when they surprise you in a good way. And, I'm proud of you for telling him.
I'm so pleased that you got such a positive reaction from your son. Good parenting pays dividends.
Kids are often capable of understanding more than we give them credit for. I'm so glad he took it in stride.
I hate New Year's Eve, btw. It is the worst excuse for a holiday ever. I'm not a party person. I'm not a staying out late kinda person. To top it off, the roads are filled with drunks on that night. Is it any wonder it's the one day a year with the most accidents? One of the guys on the construction crew is an alcoholic and has had some serious problems because of his "partying" habits. Danny asked him if he would be going out New Year's Eve. He said, "Shit no! That's amateur night. I don't have a death wish!"
I like to have a drink or two now and then, but I prefer to drink alone. When I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself;o) No, a small gathering's fine, but don't make me drink *and* stay up past midnight. I'm not capable.
