Hi everyone,

I just found out that N's NW is taking her son around the state to check out colleges. Good for them! N is going with them. Bad for them! So this got me thinking: What is his angle? He certainly doesn't care what college this kid goes to. He wouldn't even help his own son fill out the FAFSA form for financial aid so he could go to college. But there has to be something in it for him besides a free trip around the state.

This brought me to his own son who is 19 and still lives with N. The son has expressed a lot of interest in moving out, and even said he found a place and last I heard was doing it this weekend. Good for him! That's what kids are supposed to do, grow up, move out, live their own lives. But N thought son would live with him forever.

I'm wondering if this is N's way of D&Ding his own son. His son is now grown, has a full time job, and doesn't need N so much. So the son is no longer good supply. And if son is moving this weekend, his N dad is off with gf and her son looking at colleges??? WTF! What could be a bigger slap in the face to his son?

It also makes me feel bad for her son. This was supposed to be a trip about him, and N will turn it into a trip about N. Mom will be concentrating on N, and son will be left in the background when this was supposed to be about him.

So do you think this is his way of D&Ding his son? Just curious.
