Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Probably if they aspire to moving overseas. And most likely if both parents have a good relationship.

The OP's relationship seems to have broken down for the time being and he threatened to withhold monthly visitation. Whether he was bluffing or not I think is immaterial coz I think as a result of that threat the mother would have been shit scared the father is prepared to exclude her from the child's life. Maybe she suspected same even before hence why dragging her feet on the BC.

Perhaps she drags feet because she knows that as soon as the paper is made he will have certain rights as a parent, which he can't really exercise until he has the paper to show he has those rights.

Yuh that's what I was alluding to.

kinda crazy for you all to presume what goes thru the mind of a mom, who was so fed up with living with the OP, she left her child with him and split.

I guess the lesson is to get your name on the birth certificate and get your kid a foreign passport immediately after the birth when the wife is still speaking to you.

I visited the parents property but it was all locked up and nobody there. That was the day after the kidnapping. Now posted the picture on Facebook with her face on it. Hope some of my friends families know where these statues are

You really need a kick somewhere where it hurts to wake you up, don't you?

In this thread there's now:
- pictures of 'your son'
- his name
- his date of birth

and it will be there, or in Googles' cache forever, or at least for years and years. And you're not 1 inch closer to solution by posting it.

Change tactics, for your son and for yourself. Solve your matters privately, don't expose your son like this. For his sake. My 2 cents.
