My eight year old son, lives with his dad and new step mom. My son is wanting me to sign my rights over for some stupid reason that I do not know, but I mainly think it is his Step Mom that wants that. She has only been in his life for about 3 years, and has ruined alot of things between me and my son, and has also ruined my son's life. She is constantly screwing up his Drs appointments, and taking him off of his medication for OCD and Bipolar. Should I be concerned, and should I sign my rights over. This has torn my family apart. What should I do!!!!!!!!!!

Well before signing have you done anything to try to resolve the problem. Signing papers wont change that you are still his mom. What are the reasons they want the rights signed over? Why would a responible parent put that burden on a 8 yr old anyway. If you are a good mother. You need to tell your son that you love him and you may not see eye to eye with his father but one thing you have in common is you both want what is best for him and you both want to be a part of his life. If you are not being a good role model.. now here is your chance. If he isnt being a good role model for your son. Bite your tongue and be the better person. It is completely unfair for all of you to put the burden on Adult problems on a child. You three need to have a sit down and put your feelings a side an find dout what is best for him. What path do you want him to take and what all 3 of you can do to make it better for him. If you all 3 work together..It can work. Dont blame her when you may not know the entire story. Ask her how all 3 of you can make it work for what is best for him.
Good luck!

DO NOT sign away your rights-u r his mother & u need to do what is best for him however based on what u have said not being in his life is not best-u need to seek the advice of an atty to help get the situation under control (esp where the step mom's lack of responsibilty is concerned) b4 your son suffers anymore-no matter what your ex or the new wife says you are still his mother & will always be & they shouldn't deny you being in his life unless u have caused him physical harm (emotional harm can be fixed-although not easily)-FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS-DON'T GIVE UP

Tell your son - I am your mother and I love you with all my heart. I would NEVER sign or say anything to give up my right to be in your life. You are stuck with me and give him a big hug and kiss to affirm it.
You may want to tell him - I know you love (step mom) and that is good cause she is also a part of your life. But I will always be your mom.

No way! I'd ask why HE wants you to sign over your rights? Does he even know what that means? I also think it's either your ex husband or the step mom putting that in his head. Don't sign!

Youre his mother you have more rights than her so if you dont want to give up your rights fight for custody of your son.
