How do you let go of a child ?

Diane that is a very hard one. There is only a few options you do have. One you can speak with the parents about letting you still maintain a friendship with the child and if both of them are reasonable and civil they will know that is can be dramatic to rip her from you after all these years. If neither of them are willing to compromise and be considerate then letting her go is going to break your heart. There isn't much to do accept let her know that you will always be there for her and that you do love her before they completely go on for good. That will help you have peace that you tried your best to keep a relationship and know that its not your wrong doing and no matter if she ever needs anything you will be right there.

Oh.My.Gosh. This is, I think one of the hardest questions i've had to answer in YA!

How do I start?

Let me start by saying that you won't ever be able to let go of this child.

You are always going to keep him in your heart and I bet he will always have you in his heart no matter if you guys are going to get back together or not.

How did that work out, having to have his ex partner living with you guys?

Isn't that kind of strange?

Were you guys friends?

Okay well i'm really sorry about this but if you can, maybe you can tell him how you feel about his son and how you love him as if he was yours, and if you could visit him sometime and spend some time with him! I bet he would be glad to.

Maybe this is not the best advice you will get, but it is the best I could think of right now.

I haven't really been in this situation, and i am deeply sorry but things always happen for a reason and if it's meant to be, it'll happen. I promise ;)
