Should I go see SS without my husband?
SS called yesterday. His exams are over and he is off for Summer until September. Of course, he has his music job but he has a lot more free time. My husband picked up the phone and SS imediately said he wants to speak to me. My husband was so hurt. But he gave me the phone. I finally got to tell him how beautiful the flowers he sent me were. He said he was glad I liked them. He put Sarah on the phone and let her babble a bit. I could have listened all day. I did not mention Sunday's event at ALL. It was such a horrible thing for SS's mother to do. It just makes me angry thinking about it.
I slowly try to bring up the topic of us visiting again. SS stops me and says, I can't look at HIS face right now, clearly referring to my husband. Then he says how he wished he was put up for adoption. It broke my heart. He said I could come see Sarah for a while tomorrow. But he needs time away from his parents. I said I will let him know tonight. What do I do? I did not tell my husband what SS said on the phone. But I really want to see them. They are my babies. Although one of them is acting very bratty. But SS is being very strong through all his mother's bullshit. Maybe some brattyness is expected. Should I go by myself to see them? My husband would be very hurt. I do not know if I can do it.

I would go, you need to
I would go, you need to foster your relationship with him. Right now you are the only responsible adult that he is bonding to so he needs you, hopefully your husband will understand that eventually.

I just do not know how my husband will react. I feel so torn.
I don't know the whole story.
I don't know the whole story. But I say if he asked you go your have the right to have a relationship with him just as any friend he chooses does. A good postive relationship can help to heal others relations with his DH given time.
If you are up front, and your
If you are up front, and your DH agrees, then I say go. If not, then don't go. SS is being pretty cruel to DH. SS is still upset that he was not rescued from BM many years ago and making your DH pay for it. If you deceive your DH by going without his knowledge, then be prepared for a bumpy road ahead.
I have decided to go. I will
I have decided to go. I will sell it to my husband saying that I can try to make SS build a relationship with him again. Like many of you said, I think this would be a big step in helping my huband reconnect with his son. Right now, me and my husband are the only family SS has. My husband's ex-wife has a large family but they all bullied SS one time. He no longer trusts them. They are complete trash, just like SS's mother. I feel pretty bad for him. He is all alone in the city, with a baby who is barely 2 years old. And the only family he is trying to connect with is ME, his stepmother. Hopefully my husband will take my decision well.
