Prayers, karma, good wishes needed

[MissMillie]

My son Tim (16) hasn't seen his dad in 14 years, and yesterday I learned that his dad died (in January). I told Tim, and he seems to be okay, but I wonder if it's really hit him yet.

Now, it's pretty obvious that my son lost his father 14 years ago, but now he's also lost any chance to confront him about it, or to try to have a relationship with him (if that's what he chose down the road).

He didn't even have a chance to go to a funeral and say a final farewell.

I'm worried. I expect he's going to realize that he's been robbed of deciding his destiny on this one--and I expect he'll be pretty angry about that. I know I would be.

We're already pretty stressed out over having to move at the end of the month. We haven't seen any child support in almost 3 full months (turns out there was a reason for that after all) and now we'll have to apply for survivor benefits under Social Security.

Please keep Tim in your thoughts and prayers.

3. I am so sorry. But it isn't Tim's fault; it was his Dad's

But I can also see your dilemma and how bad a kid this age could feel. I wish both of you all the best and you will be in my thoughts.:grouphug:
