IAM A SINGLE MOTHER OF TWO KIDS. A 3YEAR OLD AND 19 MONTH OLD. MY EX JUST GOT OUT OF PRISON AND HAS NO PLACE TO LIVE AND HAS NO INCOME. HE JUST DID A YEAR AND 3 WEEKS FOR DRUGS. NOW HE WANTS TO HAVE OVERNIGHT VISITATION WITH THE KIDS, PROBLEM IS THAT OUR 19 MONTH OLD SON DOES NOT KNOW HIM. HE DENIED OUR SON BEING HIS EVEN THOUGH HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS CHEATING ON ME AND DOING DRUGS, MATTER OF FACT HIS WHOLE FAMILY HAS DENIED OUR SON BUT KEPT A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR DAUGHTER. HE HAS NOT SEEN OUR SON SINCE HE WAS THREE WEEKS OLD. I DO NOT WANT TO TRAUMATIZE MY SON AND HAVE HIM HAVE ABANDONMENT ISSUES LIKE HIS SISTER. I HAVE OFFERED HIM MONITORED VISITS AND HE DENIES THEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN HIS FAMILY HAS SAID THAT NO ONE HAS CUSTODY OF THE KIDS AND HE DONT HAVE TO RETURN THEM. HELP ANY WORD OF ADVICE
