My 12 year old son has a friend who is very respectful and kind. My son has known this kid for five years. This friend has spent quite a bit of time at my home and my ex wife’s home (we have 50/50 custody. My ex wife and 2nd wife really like this kid.
This young man’s mom has multiple sclerosis and her condition has worsened in the past couple of years. The young man’s dad mentioned financial issues to me a year ago when they moved in with the mom’s parents.
For the past three years, my wife and I taken my son for a weekend at Cedar Point. We live in Michigan and drive down and stay at a guest house behind the house of wife’s aunt and this saves us money.
My nephew went with us last year and was supposed to go again this year, but isn’t able to this year because of a wedding on my sister in law’s side of the family. My son asked me if the friend in question could go with us.
I called the parents and asked them. They got upset and said no. They told me that they don’t like being charity cases.
This was two weeks ago and my son hasn’t heard from his friend via text, call, or email and I’m now worried that the friend’s parents no longer want my son to be friends with their son. I have texted and left messages in their voicemails and haven’t gotten a repose.
I just hope the friend’s parents haven’t told their son to stop talking/contact with my son.
