Dad visits with Son

My son met with his father for the first time not long ago and has had three visits since. He left there in a good mood and was very happy to have seen his dad. I felt okay about the whole thing but am approaching this with caution.

I received $130 in Child Support, cash, handed to me over the weekend. This shows his willingness to help - as I knew he would if he had it. That's how he is. But the problem is that its never consistant, and it just needs to be!

We met with the SW to talk about his visitation schedule. It will be the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month, from 4pm to 6pm with the SW picking up my son at daycare and dropping him off for the visit. I will them pick him up just before 6. During the meeting, my son's father asked if he could call and I said I would allow phone calls. I want to encourage this relationship and not discourage it.

The problem is knowing when enough is enough.
