Dear Gregory:

You shared that your son is living with the wife of your uncle, that she is the authority in the house where your son lives (she is not related to your son by blood). There are other boys and girls living in the house, and one of the older girls is taking care of your son. Last you saw your son was six months ago, in February this year, and that visit lasted three days. At that time you “paid $1,000 baby class” for him.

You talk to him every week  on the phone, but he doesn’t clearly tell you what he needs and if he is lacking anything. Your aunt, the authority in the house, tells you things like: “your son says he needs a bicycle and sneak”, and you told your son that you will buy him a bicycle when you visit him next time.

You are planning to visit him “this coming week by Wednesday”. Your plan is to send your son to boarding school, and live with him (during holidays, when he has time off boarding school) after you complete your aviation education and certification.

My concerns at this point:

– the $1,000 you paid for “baby school”- did it go to the school, or to your aunt.

– the toys for your son/ money you send for him- does it go to your son or to your aunt.

– does your aunt treat your son (not related to her by blood) as less than other children who are related to her by blood.

– your son doesn’t really have  you in his life, other than a voice  on the phone and money/ material items that may or may not reach him fully.
