My 14 yr old son says he wants to live with his dad (different city) and go to school there now. As his mother, I am crushed because my husband (my son's stepdad) and I have been very good parents. We make sure my son has a spiritual life, we have a wonderful home and friends. But my son's dad is a manipulator deluxe, kind of like Satan himself. Even though he is remarried, and has another child- he cannot let it go that I left him. In appearance, he has moved on- in his mind, this man is very immature. He has had my son in counseling all summer and now my son thinks he wants to stay there. I feel it is wrong for him to stay. I don't care what the law says- 14 or not, my son is a child and lives for the moment, not thinking long term at all- not qualified to make decision for himself. If as his mom, I were a gutter drunk, or doing drugs or abusive to him, I could understand why the job of mother is being taken away. I feel like going there and taking him home. Am I wrong?
