OK question...Not sure which group this post will fit on but thought I would start here. So this weekend my boyfriend asked me to marry him *smiles* of course I am extremely thrilled and cannot wait. We are planning on August. My son who said he is "ok w/ the marriage thing" is not happy that we are moving away to a new home, area, and community. This will mean being "the new kid" and he is not happy and fears no body will like him or accept him. Of course being the Mommy I reassured him this will not be the case and I will be by his side 100% as well as his new step brother and sister and father....He really doesnt have a much of a relationship w/ his Dad except for phone calls which have been coming more regularly his dad lives in TX and we live in NY...He sort of upped and left him here in NY....So anyway...How do I make is comfortable with the idea and make this a positive transition? Your advice is most welcome....Thanks so much for reading my post! I look forward to reading your advice! Melissa~
I think fitting in is so much more important at an earlier age now than it used to be. Maybe you could try to find some boys his age that he could become friends with before moving...if that is possible. Good luck and congrats.
