Is it okay to let go of a child?
When your child knows that you’ll really be okay, he can start his journey into adulthood with peace of mind. Letting go may be a challenge – painful at times – but it is a strategic act of good parenting and is the first step of a healthy relationship that will last for years to come with our adult children.
Why do parents have a hard time letting go?
Holding on tight feels good, but letting go expresses love. Many struggles of adolescence occur because we parents are conflicted about our children growing up. The desire to keep them small and dependent doesn’t make us bad parents; in fact, it might be a side effect of being a terrific parent.
What happens if the father refuses to give your child to you?
If the father has consistently refused to return your son to you, then your child’s father may face significant consequences. Courts don’t look fondly upon parents who deprive the other parent from spending time with their child.
Why is the father of my child keeping my child?
If your son’s father rarely disrupts your visitations with your child, then you should discuss the situation with your ex-husband. He could have specific life changes that have caused him to keep the child longer than usual, such as a change in work schedule.
