27

has an apartment with up to 3 other roommates, one of which is the
significant other. It might be 2 roommates...I really don't know
since my oldest decided to abruptly drop contact with us.

> Does he have an attorney?

Not yet, but at the last meeting, the referee advised us both to get
attorneys. I would have no way of finding out if my oldest was going
to bring an attorney to the next meeting.

No allegations at all, which is why I do not understand why this is
not a cut and dry case, and why I am just sick over this and have no
idea how to handle it. This whole situation is so odd and out of my
realm, that I really do not know how to deal with it.

My children are well adjusted, polite, kind hearted kids. You would
be hard pressed to find any adult that has met them, to say anything
bad about them at all. In fact, I am constantly told what lovely
children I have. Obviously, this sounds like a proud Mama, and I
am, but it also happens to be true.

> How old are your younger children?

11 and 14. I thought that was old enough for them to make a
decision as to whether or not they wanted to see their half sibling,
but I get the feeling from the referee that those ages are too young
and the court is the one to advise what is good for them
