Little quick backstory, I was a shitty teen, in and out of trouble with the law, kicked outta my house, kicked outta school, got my girlfriend at the time pregnant, I was 17, she was 16, I went to jail for 1 year when she was 3 months pregnant, got out, got into more trouble almost right away and back into jail for 9 months. She had enough and took him and started a life without me, TOTALLY Understandable, I harbor no ill will to her at all, she made the best choice she could being 17 and with a child. My life was in shambles. I moved out of that town to the town I live in now, got into drugs, ended up in jail another time. I was about 22 or so by the time I got my shit together and realized it was not the life I wanted to live if I wanted to see 30. I asked around about him and her to a few mutual friends and found out she was married and had a couple more kids with a guy and that Jessie (my son) was being raised to believe that this other guy was his father, he was doing great in school, was set in a life and I spoke with my parents and came to the conclusion it would not be right to disrupt his life at that developmental age and if things were ment to be then things would happen in their time Well I guess his grandfather spilled the beans about 7 years ago to him and he found me on Facebook. We have been talking for the last 7 years, getting to know each other, I always told him the ball was in his court as to when or if he would like to meet up in person, and fully explained everything that went on and told him it was all my doing and his Mother just did what she thought was best. We did the 23 and Me DNA matching ad it all came back that he was mine (His Mom still claims it wasnt me, so, for peace of mind for him and I we did it at his request) well we finally met up this weekend! afterwards he sent me a text saying that for 29 years he has felt like the black sheep of the family and in 1 afternoon my family made him feel so at home and natural, yeah I may have gotten dust in my eye at that Here is me and my son Jessie James Funny thing is, i toss on a Metallica tank top and my leather vest to go and meet him, wife shakes her head, I say "Hey, he is meeting ME, the real ME" He shows up, wearing a Metallica tank top too, we both just started laughing then hugged and here is my most adorable 4.5 year old Granddaughter Alivia She loves heavy music like he Dad and Granddad I was told, so, I got her a stuffed Ozzy Ozbourne bat, the head has velcro and comes off, she absolutly loved it!!!! So yeah, a pretty decent weekend Edited June 28, 2022 by StormCrow Dot80, Hoth, Timmah! and 21 others 14 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
