OK, OK, there are a few men too Big Grin

I have sole custody for my 12 year old son, and have raised him solo for most of his life. He has not had contact with his dad for 10 years now, and being a teenager is starting to ask questions. He is so similar to his father. I have shown him photographs of the man, and told him all about the good characteristics the man has.

As a young boy, he often yearned to have a dad like other boys. He has had plenty of role model subtitutes, but I must say things change when they become teenagers.

We are now at a crossroad, in that I think it may be a good idea for him to make contact with his father. (Just to sooth his curiosity, and perhaps to see if the man has some feelings for my son.)

Problem being, is the man is a total alcoholic, and I would not wish my son to feel rejected if the guy is in a drunken stupor. What now?
