Outrage as mum considers giving up her son for boyfriend

A mum has been slammed online for seriously considering giving up her son so that she can marry her new boyfriend.

Writing to Dear Wendy’s ‘agony aunt’ column for advice the mum said she was ‘feeling stuck’ about a dilemma.

"I’m a 30-year-old divorcee with a son. I have joint custody with my ex-husband. My boyfriend, who is also divorced, has a daughter who is under the sole custody of his ex-wife,” the woman explains.

"My boyfriend already proposed to me, but, one month after proposing, he wants me to give up seeing my son.”

But instead of fuming, getting upset about the request, or simply telling him to bugger off, the mum seems to seriously be considering the request, admitting she had thought about giving up her son when she remarried.

"But how am I supposed to answer to my parents? My mother has depression and my father has cancer. I don’t want them to be sad knowing that they will lose a grandson,” she says, explaining she’s been given a few weeks to think about it.

"My boyfriend told me when we started dating that he could not accept my son, and I know not all men can. I want to be with my boyfriend and yet I can’t bear to let my parents feel sad because of their illnesses. I also have a mother’s guilt in me because my son loves me so much. What should I do?"

Well, Wendy did not hold back in her response telling the mum she needs to “get help”.

"Yeah, no sh*t you have 'mother's guilt'," the columnist replied.

"You're willing to give up the little bit of time you have with your son, which is already a depressingly small amount, for a monster of a man who doesn't see his own child and doesn't think you should see yours? Shame on you."

She also couldn’t believe the mum would use her parents' illnesses as the reason to ‘maybe’ keep seeing her own son.

“Please, please get yourself to therapy and figure out what … is wrong with you that you would behave in such an appalling, disgraceful way. Get help.”
